Mad respect to COLORS for showcasing this huge artist.
🙏
So freaking inclusive, they get extra points but lose some for being white :/

So many mad clowns here, can't accept that's the world we live in 🤡🤡🤡
In addition to the employees at Colors, I would like to give a huge shout out to Paul Lorton, the sound engineer of Colors Studio. He is the person behind all the incredible, crisp audio we get on all these shows with no credit. Let's give him his flowers please
THE SOUND IS IMPRESSIVE
what an icon!!!
wonderful sound!!!
The fact that that I'm not the only person who noticed
Damn the audio is cuhleannn even on my wimpy ahh phone speaker it sounds sublime
he looks like a king ♥️
I love this comment! 😍 My mom is from Mali, so I secretely feel a little honored too haha 😄😊 I always love to see people wear their traditional clothing, though I never labeled it like that, but I totally agree!
Because he is sis x
@@M.I.22 My first thought was, "He is very Regal"
he's a king ;)
He's a 70 something generation griot. Griots are storytellers and Kora players. So it's in this blood, he was made to do this.
The traditional music of Mali is among the most interesting on the world scene. The Sissoko family has been full of talented griots for generations. ❤
west africa is not just afrobeat: j'adore
Yes ❤️
Funny thing is what we call Afrobeat right now has nothing to do with what it actually is. There is nothing similar between Fela Kuti/Salif Keita's music and say Wizkid's or even Burna Boy's music. It's more like Afropop.
@@ibrahimkante6022 Afrobeat vs Afrobeats, small difference but it's one that all the artists emphasise.
@@ibrahimkante6022 You're wrong because thats Afrobeats there's a difference and thats the S
You mean Afro pop because what is being played today has nothing to do with Afro beat lol
Africans underrate their cultures so much. Why must we struggle to find things like this? There should be a ‘classical’ African music channel or something to give these lost arts exposure growth and more life.
no fr there should beee!
then make one
They exist. Seek them out. Look to Mali.
Music came to the first , that’s why 😂
It's not a struggle. If you know the names of the instruments you'll find various channels and videos with the music and also popular artists from the given regions and cultures.
I love traditional/classical African music. It’s something that’s just so peaceful and deeply connected and comforting to my soul. I love being African (Mandinka) and proud that the Kora is getting the recognition it deserves
this is awesome and the first i've ever heard of this instrument or style could u put me onto a few of ur personal favorites that are in this vein?
@@user-ze7sj4qy6q Tumane Diabate From Mali and Jaliba Kuyate from Gambia.
@@user-ze7sj4qy6qlisten to Mory Kanté or Djeli Moussa Diawara from Guinea Conakry, Toumani and Sidiki Diabate from Mali, Ablaye Sissoko from Senegal or Sokhna Jobarteh from Gambia!
J’ai eu la joie d’écouter des concerts de kora en Afrique, les sonorités sont incroyables, ensorcelantes...vous ne pouvez que vibrer avec cet instrument...
The sun is going down. I'm sitting in my garden and my daughter sends me this. No words needed just pure love and gratitude 💛
I hope you feel just as good then as you do now. Maybe even better ❤
Same my daughter send this to me and bring me in tears😢
bubonic paid for the Lord. bless everyone. AMEN.
Après Fatoumata Diawara, voici une nouvelle fois un artiste malien.
J'espère que tout cela permettra aux gens de voir le Mali autrement que par le prisme de la guerre qui fait si mal à un pays magnifique, peuplé d'artistes, de musiciens, bercés d'un art ancestral et fabuleux.
J'aime le Mali pour y être allé déjà plusieurs fois, j'aime le Mali pour ce qu'il m'a donné, la foi en l'humanité.
♥️
L’ignorance tue !
Je dis que le Mali est le berceau de l’Afrique de l’ouest. Un pays plein de richesse, de culture et de tradition.
De la part d’un sénégalais ❤️🇸🇳 🇲🇱
Et je suis tout à fait d’accord 😌 Paix et amour de la part d’une guinéenne 🇬🇳
Pas que le mali l'empire mandingue et la gambie car la kora vient de la bas 😘
Vive le Mali !!!!!!
Dude didn't look at the strings even once, what a legend. His face at times was like, "Impressed? Yeah me too lol"
The African performances on here are some of my favorites. This was soothing, a bit therapeutic, and I also love the warm colors.
Sevdaliza gurrl is here too :D
From Mali 🇲🇱
This guy is dressed like a king and playing beautiful music with very skilled hands and makes it sound natural like breathing. What is not to love?
A beautiful Rumi verse immediately comes to mind while listening to these chords.
"Out beyond ideas of right and wrong, there is a field. I will meet you there."
Rumi quote on this comment section sooo much culture. I love it. Words for my heart music for my soul
@@LubulaChikwekwe I know never thought I would see the day a Rumi quote on Colors wow 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
One of my faaaavorites you’re so right
My favorite of Rumi’s lines
Hhhh and while reading this beautiful rumi verse immediately my mind goes to these words "catch me outside, ****" sorry i couldnt help myself, much love hhhhhh
As a fellow Malian I’m happy you’re showcasing more than one artist from this creative country
More artist like him please Colors 😍🇲🇱
Yes, way better than the woke generation "artists"!
Yes pleaseeee
Just in case you ever wondered what life in the ancient Mali empire of Africa sounded like, here you go. We are all welcome.
100
Thank you COLORS, for showcasing artists from around the world and granting me the privilege to be able to hear music from all cultures
Wow
From Mali 🇲🇱
As someone who plays the harp, thank you COLORS for showcasing the kora. This is simply divine.
I love the sound of Kora instrument.
Exquisite
Heard it in the street once and I was bewitched. ❤️ (hope my English is good enough to make me understandable)
@@Dynsdead Your english is awesome
@@Dynsdead bewitched - nice choice of word :) ❤️
Same. it is truly so beautiful
I'm from Algeria 🇩🇿 and I love this western African instrumental
Mali is not far from Algeria, you are cultural neighbors
@@inamib.9786Algeria is North Africa
@@weirdo4653 But these two countries share the same border. Even if one is located in the west of Africa, and the other, in the North.
@@weirdo4653 North of Mali ( Kidal, Tombouctou …) and the south of Algeria ( Ahaggar , Timimoun , Touât …) are the Same people
The way I felt his music on a spiritual level...so freaking talented.
You were African... ☺️
This is the music I grew up on. Proud Guinean.
❤
The peace that I felt watching this is a peace I want to feel everyday for the rest of my life
🙏
It's a peace I thought I'd lost. Reconnecting to sounds from home is so meaningful. Thank you COLORS
Masha’Allah talented man. Much love from Somalia 🇸🇴 viva Africa
How mesmerizing, his music is awakening my sense of wonder.
It’s as if I’m running in a field of grass
Merci colors de permettre aux artistes africains de s'exprimer dans vos studios je rêve que mon tour arrive
The type of sound that makes everyone stop and sit quietly in silence while the power of music enters the soul.
Très juste
He plays with the grace of a king’s royal musician. Beautiful.
I've never heard anything like this. Thanks to Colors once again for broadening my horizon.
🙏
Listen to 'Ballake Sissoko & Toumani Diabat - Bafoulabe' when you can. Just an incredibly beautiful song. I first heard it several years ago on 'Mala's BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix' - also helped broaden my horizon.
By the look on his face, this man is communing with the gods.
They’ve gathered hoping to meet him.
I don't really listen to music without lyrics (except some Beethoven, etc and not very often) but I really like this and he is very charismatic.
You should!
@@Pat315 yeah I know but I'm easily distracted and I don't understand every nuances of music so it's more complicated for me to understand and appreciate some music. But sometimes I really enjoy it depends of how I feel I guess. And I really like techno, house, and trance music without lyrics so I don't know maybe my ears are just not used to it. But I will definitely try and listen to songs without lyrics now.
@@Pat315 btw I really like your username
@@imbobby3566 Love those genres too, sometimes it takes the right piece of music to spark you.
Cheers! Hope you're doing good :)
Listen to, Ali farka - Diaraby
Oh my god, what have i just heard? This was so beautiful, it made me emotionally melt. And we here in Europe are so ignorant that we have never heard of such a master? I can hardly imagine what richness is out there in Africa.
Did anyone else feel the music in your heart?
Yes!
Me too! Very spiritual and healing. One of the most beautiful instruments I’ve ever heard
I keep returning to relisten..it gives me tranquillity
Crying cleansing tears
Absolutely.
Glad to see Malian music is finally getting the recognition it deserves ❤️🇲🇱
Thank you for sharing local artists 🥺🇲🇱
🙏
remember studying this instrument in my African civilization class a few years back glad to see him again
What is the name of this instrument?
Must take ages to master
@@BreenSN it's called the kora
Kora
@@BreenSNthis is kora
Love to my Malian People.
So regal. So Africa. I love it. What a beautiful world we live in full of beauty still. Amazing music.
The Original harp. Absolutely beautiful in sound and musicianship, this is amazing.
Thanks Sir harp is originally African
The banjo also came from Africa. It was called "the banjar". Apparently the first string instrument was found in Mesopotamia, but Africans made it better of course :)
Kora my G. F the harp.
There's another in the Lake Victoria region called the Nyatiti
No it's not the African harp. It's a Kora. Simple as it is.
This guy collaborated with Italian pianist Ludovico Einaudi on the album Diario Mali. What a legend!
Bet that is amazing!
@@eumeliacartwright2629the pieces are on UA-cam, just search 'Diario Mali'
@@CombustibleL3mon Will do. Thank you
Mes deux musiciens préférés, quel Paradis 💚
One day I wish for a Colors fest that resembles the Montreal Jazz fest
😍
I agree & it would surpass any festival anywhere🙏🏼❤
I'm from Montreal and somehow I've never been... I need to!
Quelle merveille que cet instrument et que ce virtuose....que Dieu te garde 🙏🙏...Toumani Diabaté s'en est allé....tu restes un des gardiens du temple ❤❤❤
Saw this amazing musician with his band in York, UK a couple of years ago, all of them were brilliant and their music absolutely blew me away, a must see.
Mad respect for this huge artist to allow himself to be featured on COLORS.
🙌🏾🇨🇻there’s no denial that this is pure magic .the relaxation of listen to this takes me afar to motherland Africa we are one .✊🏾
Watching this from Zimbabwe, this is awesome. Africa is a basket of beautiful culture
His outfit is simply majestic! An artistic expression deserving of its own recognition.
Fatoumata, Vieux Farka Toure, Ballake, Mali is on another level with music.
Almost like a spiritual experience . Beautiful !!
I sat and closed me eyes and this sound took me somewhere beautiful.🌹
Totally an outer body experience. 💫✨
I'm sold... I absolutely love this type of music - Never heard of the KORA, never even knew that it existed. Ballake is sooo talented. These are much needed African sounds so soothing and calming to the mind and soul
Listen to his duet with Toumani Diabate called New Ancient Strings
Encore une fois merci d'avoir permis aux artistes africains d'avoir de la visibilité ! J'espère qu'à l'avenir y'aurait d'autres coloris avec des artistes africains et Mali pussanci à Magni Deh ! Faut jamais l'oublier.🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🙌🏾
Exactly!
Truly an underrated instrument. The sound of half harp and half guitar, the Kora is a very difficult instrument to play this well. Kudos to Sissoko for his dedication.
You have no idea how this makes me happy!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Merci Colors for featuring artists from all around the world.
Our pleasure 🙏
Mali/Senegal land of the genius that shaped our civilization
Je viens de tomber sur cette vidéo par hasard et cet artiste m'a profondément touché. Sa proposition est d'une pureté et d'une sincérité déconcertante. Merci pour ce moment 🙏🏾
Merci à color de montrer la beauté et la diversité de mon pays 🤲🏾🇲🇱❤️
African ballad in the heart of the essential. I like to be carried away by these melodies which remind me of my childhood. Thank you Ballaké🙏🏾🌻🎉
La kora 🥰 quel instrument merveilleux ❤️ Greetings from a North African
I love the Kora! Makes beautiful music!
This is the music of the West African Mandinka Tribe! 🇲🇱 🇬🇲 🇸🇳 🇨🇮 🇸🇱 🇬🇳 🇧🇫
This instrument has such a unique sound, if I only heard it without seeing, I would never be able to tell how it looks like
Kora is such a beautiful instrument, thank you Ballake Sissoko for playing it so well and enchanting our souls. Lots of love
Much respect dear brother for the pure competence and mastery of this heavenly music...that's Africa my brothers....the source of a genuine culture...
My heart got kinda overwhelmed at some parts. This is really top tier quality music
Exactly!
Bright, colorful, authentic. We need more music like this. More and more people are paying attention to their soul, their actions in life. Such music helps to stay on the right path, and to forgive oneself by admitting one's wrong. Well done 👍
vraiment Colors donne tellement de visibilité aux aristes de tous genre, c'est incroyable, merci moi qui suis fan d Kora mais n'y connait rien, je découvre encore un grand artiste
Malian music is my absolute favourite from african music. ❤️
It's seems like that COLORS studios brings those artists from a planet called "the perfection"
Wow. Former music teacher/accompanist/performer here; he is an exceptional virtuoso, no doubt that. Just wow.
The kora is such a beautiful instrument, thank you COLORS for posting this and his music
Wai respect je sens un maître dans son domaine de prédilection. C’est l’Afrique qui gagne ✊🏾
Every time the Bass hits, it feels like its saying everything will be all right.
maliiii is shining
By far one of my favorite featured artist on Colors. He is phenomenal 🙌🏽🔥
Absolutely divine,brings tears to my eyes. WE WANT MORE!
How classy is he! Love Mali and Senegal can’t wait to visit one day!
Never saw that instrument before, but I find it amazing. It allows you basically to play two instruments at the same time.
Beautiful! Malian music is so beautiful
Music from Mali 🇲🇱 is magical. Pure Art !
Not all classical music is European! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
La construction de la musique est épatante. Un dialogue musical nous est présenté, est cela par le biais de sa justesse technique ! C’est un plaisir de rencontrer une telle douceur auditive
Thanks COLOR SHOW ✨
He looks like a traveler from an ancient land. Lovely music too!!
Lindo!!! ❤️🎶
Sublime, Indescriptible, un Art purement admirable, le propre de l'Afrique, un Salif Keita, Un Idir, et Madi, et vous aurez la Berceau de l'humanité.
Désolé si je n'ai pas sité autant d'autres artistes...ils sont nombreux, on le sait tous.
Mon Continent, que je t'aime :(
I love the sound of Kora, great Artist! Thank you for sharing this kind of music that's pure art!
TOUT EST MAGNIFIQUE, LA MUSIQUE, L HOMME , L HABIT DE LUMIÈRE.. MERCI BALLAKE, 🙏🏽
💚💛❤️
Now imagine an entire concert with a full orchestra!! Just amazing!!
Was thinking this instrument instead of the damn harp earlier
Everything about this video is flawless. The sound is so well engineered, this man’s skills and his beautiful tunic, and of course, the song is beautiful
Quel bonheur de retrouver Ballaké Sissoko sur Colors! 🌈😊
I imagine that this is the kind of man that would play as a bard in some lords castle. Amazing!
I’m absolutely in awe. Wow. I never knew I needed this in my life.
Si c'était Beethoven ou encore Mozart il devait y avoir des millions de likes et des milliers de commentaires et de partages...mais bon vu qu'il n'est pas tendance...
Merci à Colors de montrer une magnifique prestation de la culture malienne.
Les cultures africaines font parties de l'histoire, que vous êtes africains ou pas, il est judicieux de connaître l'inconnu ou de se reconnecter avec qui on est.
Je vous laisse le choix de prendre votre propre décision.
I was able to listen to this with seven speaker surround sound source and I was hypnotized for 5 minutes 💥🔥🤯😱💪🏼👌🏼👍🏼 WONDERFUL JOB COLORS!!!
Shivers 😍right?
This kind of content isn’t something you will find anywhere else but here, amazing musicianship thank you for bringing such amazing sound my hear.
Listening to kora music on psychedelics, to me, it's like listening to the language of God. The universe is singing through this man. Thank you for the beautiful performance and recording.
Amazing music, amazing culture.
Love from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
The greate Ballake Sissoko, greetings from Angola!
This is why I love COLORS
This is incredible, I can only imagine how much skill it takes to pull this off.
