 <\/p>\n

Batuki Music Society and the Alliance Francaise de Toronto are proud to present
\nMalian kora master Diely Mori Tounkara on Saturday February 11 th at the Alliance
\nFrancaise Theatre located at 24 Spadina Road at 9 pm.
\nBorn into a large family of Malian griots, Diely Mori Tounkara followed in the
\nfootsteps of his musician father by becoming an undisputed master of the kora.
\nThanks to his father, a revered kora player, he learned not only how to play the
\ninstrument, but also learned a wide repertoire of traditional Mandingo pieces. He
\nlearned to play guitar, following the teachings of his brother, Djeli Mady Tounkara,
\nthe internationally acclaimed guitarist and soloist for the legendary Super Rail-Band
\nof Bamako. For many years, he also benefited from the teachings of Toumani
\nKouyat\u00e9 in kora and Daouda Fall Diagne in sabar drums, a traditional percussion of
\nWest Africa.
\nDiely Mori is a versatile multi-instrumentalist, always looking to expand the range of
\nhis kora. His apprenticeship and his knowledge of traditional instruments and music
\nare at the service of the greatest in Mali and Senegal, including the Super Rail Band,
\nKerfala Kante, Mangala Camara, Saramba Kouyat\u00e9 and Yaye Kanout\u00e9. He composes
\nhis own music and, combined with the classical pieces of Mandingo culture,
\nsucceeded in a rich and original fusion, a beautiful mixture of the deepest traditions
\nwith a more contemporary personal repertoire.
\nIn 2007, he settled in Montreal and is a member of the Kabakuwo collective, winner
\nof the\u00a0Syli D`or world music award in 2010, and whose first album, Malongtin, was
\nreleased in 2011. He is also among the 17 Montr\u00e9al diversity artists selected for the
\nCreation of the album Arometis, a project of Vision Diversity. Today, in addition to
\nhis professional career, he shares his musical heritage with a new generation,
\nteaching young Quebecers the techniques of playing the kora, guitar and sabar drums.<\/p>\n
