Ahhh this music. It takes me back to my childhood as flashes of memory are sliding past my tearful eyes. It's time for me to go back to the motherland. That's what this song tells me.
Bela is paired here with Toumani Diabate playing the traditonal Kora, essentially a 21 lute-bridge harp originating, and for the most part only played in West Africa. The "Acoustic Around the World Series" is conceptually brilliant ! Bela is so innovative with crossing genres in his compositions and musical styles. The group of musicians he chooses are extraordinary- it's always so uplifting to hear what they all collectively create. Thank you, seriously, for this upload ! Happy Dance !! ( : And what an absolutely magnificent venue !

This song will always stick out in my head as a highlight of the festival! Just listening to it takes me back. Darn post festival blues!!!!

So cool to see it after 11 years,it was my first experience at Telluride and then I went 4 more years and again this year. It is time well spent.
Glad you enjoyed!
