Mr. T. was at work this week listening to the local radio station and he just happened to win us some tickets to a show this afternoon!
All 5 of us got to enjoy a few hours of amazing music by Bassekou Kouyate and Nagoni Ba. It was so unique, so beautiful, and just some really really good music like I hadn’t heard in a while
Bassekou Kouyate plays the nagoni (the instrument they’re holding in the picture), a traditional African instrument. But, he doesn’t play it all that traditionally. He is the first to play the nagoni more like a guitar than how it is usually played, sitting down kind of like a dulcimer.
The music is very unique and Bassekou and his band was enthusiastic, positive, happy and fun. I’d definitely recommend a listen, or, better yet, if they’re coming your way, go see the show. You won’t be disappointed!
