Grammy-nominated musician, Mamadou Diabate comes from a long line of Malian griots, or Jelis, as they are known among the Manding. His father, N’fa Diabate and his cousin, Toumani Diabate, inspired and tutored Mamadou as he mastered the Kora, the 21-string harp of the Jeli. After great success performing and touring internationally, Mamadou decided to call the U.S. home where he has collaborated and recorded with an astonishing array of popular musical figures. In the tradition of his cousin Toumani, he produced a solo Kora recording in 2005 that resulted in a Grammy nomination. It is with a solo performance that we will enjoy one of Mali’s most renowned musicians.
