TOUMANI DIABATÉ

Toumani Diabaté, one of Africa’s most important contemporary musicians, sees it as his duty to communicate between different people and cultures. His medium is the kora, the 21-string harp consisting of a calabash soundboard and a long neck. Beauty and adventure converge in his unique style of playing, which has reached audiences the world over. The musician from Mali, a descendent of 71 generations of kora players, has collaborated with innumerable top performing artists that include Ali Farka Touré and Björk. ‘A genius of African music’ (The Guardian).

The concert will be 1 set of approximately 90 minutes, no intermission.
