Foday Musa Suso - Live @ KEXP 6/23/2009 Live Performance

Legendary Gambian musician Foday Musa Suso is
a jali (West African bard, praise singer and storyteller) of the
Mandinka tribe, now settled in Seattle after 32 years in Chicago. His
instrument is the kora, a 21-string harp-lute carved from a calabash
gourd that some have cited as the origin of the guitar sound of
American Delta Blues. In Suso's virtuosic hands, it is an elegant and
stately instrument capable of both polyphonic and polyrhythmic delicacy
and grace.
