Our roots are in the music. Our cultural connection to the motherland, in order for it to be genuine it must be searched by us, and we must seek wisdom from those who came before us.
I love the closeup of his picking technique at 2:39. Notice the index finger picks both down and up. Another impressive thing is mastering an instrument with such a round neck. For most guitarists, an 7 inch radius would be way too round.
Groovy little tune. But apart from the charm of the video it never the less calls for greater exploration of what this instrument actually is. It looks ancient but has metal pans attached to it which are modern and seem to affect the tone and volume of the strings just from first sight. I will have to research this a little further. Thanks for a really cool performance video.
The instrument is called Ngoni. You can find a lot of musicians who can play this instrument on UA-cam. Especially musicians from Mali. My favorite is the band "Super Onze de Gao".
Amazing! Thank you so much!
Love the west African lute! Keep the heritage alive! Akonting, Ngoni, Xalam, Kora👍🏿🙌🏿

@@adamdebesai thank you
So beautiful. Reminiscent of the kora, but definitely still unique
Ngoni came before the kora
@@juanestadian8471 Interesting! I was just referring to the overall sound being similar to my ears.
yes there's a definite similarity@@isaacthecorncob
Yes , very natural sounding !
beautiful- and great recording too
This is where the concept of blues came from
Nope. The blues sound came from dysfunctional guitars and makeshift picks
The blues genre came from ragtime
Super vraiment
❤️❤️❤️
