Alhaji Bai Konte

Listening to this 1973 recording feels like walking across a dewy field first thing in the morning or taking a quick dip in an icy mountain stream -- it's just the gentle wake-up call your brain needs. And it's a definitive recording by a kora master, to boot: Konte excelled at the Mandinka-style of kora playing and invented the yenyengo style.
