RIP Toumani Diabate...

108.192.16.34

One of the greatest musicians I've ever had the honor of hearing live-
his solo performance at Davies Symphony Hall in November 2008
was nothing short of phenomenal.

Saw him with his band a few years later and that also was brilliant.

As a Griot he shared his tremendous gifts, warm personality and
rich spirit across the world and left a legacy of incredible recordings
to enrich our lives.

Truly a giant talent. Thank you.

So sorry to hear of this and thanks for posting.

"Kaira" from the late 80's is a personal favorite.
His duets with his son, Sidiki, and with Ali Farka Toure are also career highlights.

Rest in Power.
