"Toumani Diabaté is one of the most important musicians in Africa. Toumani plays the kora, a harp unique to West Africa, with 21 strings.
Toumani was born in Bamako, the capital of Mali, in 1965 into a family of exceptional griots (hereditary musician/historian caste); his research shows 71 generations of kora players from father to son."
