This was a stunning experience. I'm currently on a journey to discover my heritage and seeing instruments rooted deeply within the culture is so beautiful.
Bassekou ce titre est très top .Merci à toi de garder cette chanteuse elle est superbe avec une voix gracieuse .Très bon titre. Refait nous beaucoup d'autres dans ce style
Is that a five string Ngoni ? Is he using all down strokes with the back of his fingers like in Claw Hammer banjo style on the long strings ? Please help me understand his method of playing . Thank you .
+lolttyl143 Guess you shouldn't drive cars then. It's German culture. Wouldn't want to appropriate that now. Most of the music you listen to, tools you use, even basic entertainment sources and stories, they all came from someone elses culture. There's nothing wrong with taking something you enjoy and respect, and recreating/using/wearing/etc it.
If he pays for the instrument he can play it and use it as he wants, just like the example of the car. He can get inspiration from Malian culture and create something new from it. Culture is fluid, it has been copied, mixed, improved, modified and addapted since the dawn of humanity. If look closely enough, no culture is pure, there is always influence from someone else, so culture does not belong to anybody. If humans where blaming everyone else of "cultural appropiation" since the begining, we would still be living in caves and hitting each other with sticks. I´m Dominican and I love to see others dancing merengue or bachata, eating our food, or imitating dominican culture. We can´t stop cultural exchange just because suddenly people are getting offended by it, cultural appropiation makes no sense.
What I do, and I play instruments from all over the world, is learn about the culture, the people their history, learn about how they think about and make music, and learn as best I can how to play it THEIR way first, learn some of their songs and get a feel for what kinds of sounds they like to hear from it. Once I've done a reasonable job of that I feel okay about playing around with it more and finding what I can bring to not just the instrument but the music too. BUT, I don't try to play it like a guitar b/c a guitar is based on and made to play something different. Let the instrument have its own voice and do its own thing. Besides, Bassekou and his group have expanded the borders of ngoni playing WAY beyond what tradition would expect, and it's been my experience when I meet people from the cultures whose instrument I'm playing that when they see that I know something of what I'm doing and have bothered to learn something about them, they're very appreciative and encouraging. So give it a try, just learn and give credit to the source! :)
I 'm just home from a concert with these guys in Kilkenny (Ireland). That woman has some voice. Totally blown away.

Simply amazing! How I love the variety and richness of the music of Mali!
Putting that through a wah-wah = pure genius
not a genius
Yes! The arranging and production is great, along with the musical skill.

I love this, but I would feel bad trying to recreate it since it is out of their heritage and culture.

lolttyl143 Music has flowed between all people and lands since before history began. You aren't appropriating anything.
As long as you don’t claim the genre as your’s i’m sure they’d be glad to see a western interpretation of this
