“The work of a modern virtuoso rethinking an age-old instrument . . . radiant.”
— New York Times

One of the most important musicians in Africa today, Toumani Diabaté is a performer of truly exceptional talent and creativity. Regarded by many as the greatest living kora player, he performs a very special concert of stunningly beautiful solo work, a timeless blend of traditional melodies, original compositions and breathtaking improvisations.
