African lute

Anonymous, Guinea, people of Malinke

These instruments from western Africa make me think of Mory Kanté’s song “yéké yéké”. Music still plays a major role in African cultures, for example griots are poet-singers who are keeping an oral storytelling tradition and its stories alive. Music: Malik Pathé Sow and Mamoudou Soma Dia, concert mim 18/10/2003.

Year: 1974
Museum: Museum of Musical Instruments (mim)
