Customer Reviews

Alhaji Bai Konte - Greatest 20th Century Kora Player (2000-07-31)

This recording was given to us in Burkina Faso in the 1980's. The people there consider this Guinean griot to be the deepest, and best kora player ever. We have to agree. It was said that even the despotic ruler of Guinea shed tears at the death of Alhaji Bai Konte. Add this classic to your West African music collection.

Alhaji Bai Konte is one of the greats (1999-03-15)

Although I have not heard this CD yet, I was lucky enough to see one of Alhaji Bai Konte's performances when he was in the US about twenty years ago. The audience sat in wrapt silence as the griot played his Kora under a 200-year-old oak tree on the Campus of Friends World College in Lloyd Harbor. How I would love to see him perform again.
