Thanks! When Noel listened back he was like, "Wow, I was really honest! I usually don't share that much information!"

Agreed, 100%. We lost one of the great classical music composers and interpreters of Mandigue music and culture of all time! RIP indeed! Your work on guitar deserves a huge congratulations as well for finding such a well defined bridge between the kora and guitar - it has truly expanded for me what is actually possible on the guitar and is just mind blowing to see you also play baselines, accompaniment and melody all on the guitar. Just great! Some of your work here, specifically at around the 20:20 mark for me recalls Malagasy classical guitar music. Maybe it is more South African (because it's yours, of course) or entirely different so please excuse any ignorance on my part here. Would love and look forward to possible seeing you collaborate with more classical artists from Africa and anywhere really but your solo work is also just pure gold! Thank you Derek Gripper.

@@MatthewBanks-manomebe thank you very much. There's a new recording with myself and Ballaké Sissoko which may interest you - than you for your kind words.

@@DerekGripperGuitar Very much looking forward to getting ahold of this recording. I have started listening to your performance with Ballaké Sissoko from the Ancient Stone Quarry almost every day and it hits me somewhere deep down every time. It is a blessing to all that you decided to work together.

The kora ist my soul really

I believe it is The Mysticism of Sound and Music The Sufi Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

@@nycradiolive904 thank you!

Hey there, if you enjoy the Hazrat Inayat Khan book, which is considered a classic, I can recommend two other titles that also address mysticism and music, you may get something out of them - The World Is Sound: Nada Brahma - Music and the Landscape of Consciousness by Joachim-Ernst Berendt and Through Music To the Self, by Peter Michael Hamel.

@@perryholt4015 thank you so much! I’m having trouble to find the Hazrat Inayat book but I’ll look for the titles you mention! Since is a topic I’m very keen of.

I made a dumb comment about your comment. I apologize.

Where did you get yours?? Been looking at a lot of different ones. How much did yours cost?

@@joecostello1624 I got it from an online shop, I forget the name, it was based out of New York. He sells ghatams, I got mine a few years ago

@@alecpayne18 I got mine last week! Had to have it shipped from London

Sneakin Sally through the Alley (written by Allen Toussaint, recorded by Robert Palmer, with the Meters as band)

@@metermannen559 Thanks! I'd heard the Lee Dorsey version before. Would like to just hear George play the whole thing on the base though

Thanks! Here's a full length interview we did with Andy, a really special person on many levels. www.nycradiolive.org/statman/
