Additional Information
This year, Valentine’s Day rhymes with a tribute to Toumani Diabaté by none other than his brother Madou Sidiki Diabaté. For the occasion, he will be accompanied by Zal Sissokho and others in one of the city’s finest concert halls, the Gésu. In an interview with our journalist Keithy Antoine, Madou talks about the origins of the kora, a 12-string instrument similar to the harp, as well as the history of his country, Mali, his status as a griot and the important figure of his brother. An evening that promises to be rich in emotion and sound.
