Amadou Kouyate (DC) is the 150th generation of the Kouyate lineage and has studied and performed Manding music since the age of three years old. Amadou is a dynamic djembe and koutiro drummer. He also plays the 21-string kora, which he learned first with his father, Djimo Kouyate and other master Diali --oral historians/musicians-- of Manding tradition in West Africa. http://www.memoryofafricanculture.org/amk.htm
A steward of the 800-year-old tradition of the griot, the storytellers of West Africa, the Grammy-nominated Cheick Hamala Diabate creates joyous, danceable grooves on multiple instruments: he’s a master of the ngoni (a stringed lute and ancestor to the banjo), a banjo wizard, and a virtuosic guitarist, he has learned from and played with the full pantheon of Malian musical greats, including Toumani Diabate (a first cousin), Oumou Sangare, Ali Farka Touré, and Salif Keita, to name a few. http://cheickhamala.com/
