DEREK GRIPPER Jarabi ( Toumani Diabaté)

Derek Grippers arrangement of Toumani Diabatés Jarabi at the Long Street Slave Church in Cape Town (May 2012). This performance sees a 21string kora composition from Mali finding expression on a sixstring classical guitar at the same venue in which Diabaté performed in 2009. Grippers work as a translator of the West African kora appears on his 2012 album One Night on Earth: Music from the Strings of Mali.
