Magical strings: The music that relaxes me.

Salaman: Toumani Diabate and Ballake Cissoko

(The sons of two Kora masters, Sidiki Diabate and Djeli Mady Cissoko who
themselves collaborated on an album in their time, produced a song I absolutely love)

Tubaka is a Mandinka classic, that almost everyone has played.
It is a love song, which was going to be the next song I was going
to learn. However, I am going back to practise my finger patterns
first, as I will need them to play this song

Sakho Dougou .. another Mandinka classic. I like this version
by the Senegalese Baboulaye Cissoko. He inspires me because
he is self taught, and after by disappointed by so many who
promised to teach and never delivered, I am going in the way
of self-education myself..
