    They are rhythmically regal, ancient griot dynasty singing songs older then the pyramids on instruments created long ago and the ancestors of all western string instruments, banjo, guitar, violin, ukulele double bass etc etc.
    seen them lots of times in london, they are awe inspiring.
    long may they continue to touch people's hearts with their majestic music. you can really hear the roots of the blues throbbing away in their groove

    This video was recorded on the terrace of my hotel in Timbuktu, one block from the Peace Monument. I had filmed the group in 2007 in Essakane, so I recognized Bassekou when he entered and asked if they could have breakfast. He came back with his wife Amy Sacko, the lead singer.
    Soon after, they came back with the BBC and filmed this clip on the upstairs terrace of the Hotel Camping Touareg which I was about to sell but now I don't know since it has become a celebrity spot.......

    @fiddlercrab3 Chango is not a part of the Pantheon of deties in Malian Culture, there belief system is pretty amazing and complex. Not to mention Timbuktu was a major learning center centuries ago!

    I don't know if its the kora but its very identical. Its looks like what Toumani uses.
    The traditional string instrument made of wood or calabash with animal skin stretched across it was always played sitting down on stage.
    Bassekou and his band changed that, strapping the Ngonis over their shoulders like guitars and bringing the instruments to the front of the stage.

    Anybody have a rough translation of the lyrics? It sounds like they're saying "Chango Veni" which reminds me of the traditional Cuban god, Chango, most likely carried over from Africa. Is this a song to Chango, or do I need to clean out my earwax?

    @KATAO333 I should also add that I am refering to pre Islam which is the current dominant religion of Mali.
