The Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham, UK on January 17, 2016
A Malian father and son duo who play the kora a traditional West African harp-lute which has 21 strings and which Toumani described to amusement from the crowd as “very easy to play – one hand for the bass and one for the melody and improvisation”.
