The 2006 Grammy award winner in the traditional music category for the album In the Heart of the Moon, co-produced with the now deceased Ali Farka Touré, Toumani Diabaté is to the kora what Keith Jarrett is to the piano. He is a virtuoso, an ingenious instrumentalist whose both ancient and modern music is made up of epic and nostalgic hymns, crystal, diamond-studded and precious sounds whose richness and variety are a constantly renewed enchantment for the ears.

A musician and an instrument to be discovered.
