This was quite the experience. I don’t think I had ever come across the ‘Kora‘ prior to this. I might have heard it without realizing what it was. Quite the instrument, with, of course, an unique and mesmerizing sound. I really had no idea what I was going to, until they started. Took me awhile to get into it, but then I was hooked.
Totally serendipitous as so much in my life.
I had to go to ”Giuseppe’s“, for the 2nd time in 4-days, to get calamari (x4) and a large ‘Pollo Florentine Alfredo’ pizza for my 18-year old daughter (who is not driving as much as she had been doing). One hour round trip. To break it up I looked to see what was happening. Saw this. I was intrigued. The rest is history.
So, so glad I went. Wow. Well, you can experience a bit of it via the above nearly 4-minute long YouTube. I combined 3 separate videos to make that. I am kind of pleased with it.
Madou Diabate did NOT utter a single word during the whole performance. STRANGE. I still haven’t found any videos, online, of him speaking!
