I don't usually post long concert videos, but this is special

Sona is amazing and her band is really solid - except for the percussionist, who is phenomenal.

He is Mouhamadou Sarr, and I've never heard anyone like him.

Recorded at the Franz Liszt Music University in Weimar Germany

If you just want a sample before deciding to spend an hour with these fine folks, click the hot link in the description to the song Kanu (34:02)

I periodically re-visit West African music, and I always find great stuff

It's not my everyday jam, but it isn't strange to my ears any more.

I guess that African popular music is in my rotation now
