Awesome talent, maturity of social vision and fantastic artistry. And the sound of that instrument in general and especially in hands like hers, is deeply moving.

Merci beaucoup

[@yankubafatty8970]

Sons jobarteh thank you so much

[@marcosabdul7346]

The sound is so beautiful

[@senda9782]

What makes her special is that it is only her family plays this instrument for generations

[@user-vw6bk4pb4l]

Not only her family there several griot families. More like clans, because they go back 700+ years and are spread out all over West Africa. I think its Jobarteh(Diabate), Suso, Kouyate, Sissoko, and Camara.

[@ZuZungu]

[@PandoraSummer-d9v]

These 2 TV employees look so uncomfortable interviewing a musician. Why?

[@JohnLRice]

Nice!

[@siggychaloupka7330]

Sona is absolutely wonderful and a real states-woman and role model for the culture she represents. As a non-African guy, i find it absolutely amazing and inspiring.
But those tv hosts are like teen girls and totally detract from the whole vibe.

[@AlistoGaha]

❤❤❤ good 👍
