艺人介绍
by Matt FinkA member of the Malian familial tradition of the griot (or jeli, as they are known to the Manding of West Africa), kora virtuoso Mamadou Diabate is a link in the chain of oral historians that stretches back to the 13th century. Using music and oratory skills to preserve the history of their people, the griot are given special designation within their society as the bearers of a precious cultural legacy that unites the traditions of most of West Africa. Taking after his father, Djelimory Diabate, who himself rose to prominence as a kora player for the Instrumental Ensemble of Mali, Mamadou learned the complex process of tuning the 21-stringed instrument and soon began to spend so much time with it that his mother took it from him to force him to focus on his studies. His obsession had taken such a hold, however, that he simply set out to make his own. By the age of 15, he had become so accomplished that he was a much sought-after musician for weddings and baptisms, had won numerous competitions, performed in front of dignitaries, and had become something of a regional celebrity.Joining a touring group of the Instrumental Ensemble of Mali, Diabate came to the United States in 1996 and eventually made his home in New York City, frequently performing with visiting Malian musicians and for numerous cultural events, not to mention occasionally delving into the citys jazz scene. He soon recorded his debut, 2000s Tunga, for Alula Records, where he was joined by an impressive cast of handpicked musicians and friends who helped him show both reverence for the traditional sounds of his craft and to display an adventurous spirit in keeping with the practice of always furthering the griots art.
热门评论
- @尔雅：葫芦竖琴(Kora) ——曼丁哥人的科拉琴是一件美妙的、无音品的形似竖琴－鲁特琴的乐器，它的音箱是被切去了一半的大葫芦，并且用薄薄的动物皮膜通体覆盖在音箱上，21根弦绷在红木制的长颈上。 ——科拉琴的演奏者通常或坐或站，在垂直方向上抱住科拉琴，琴的底部轻轻地靠在身体上，琴上的弦直接面对演奏者。表演者用双手弹拨琴弦（就像演奏竖琴一样），每只手弹奏出互不相同的声色，两相结合便创造出一种富有旋律和节奏的声响。 ——科拉琴由曼丁哥人传统世袭的音乐人（被称作“Jeli”）演奏，经常附有一名女“jeli”歌手。有时，科拉琴的演奏者会歌颂上帝或是演绎像著名的“萨加塔”王朝史诗般的英雄赞歌。

- @路德·古利特(这家伙很聪明什么也没留下...)：Mamadou Diabate1975出生于马里Kita的一个音乐世家，从小跟随他的父亲学习科拉琴演奏，他的堂兄著名的科拉琴大师Toumani Diabate也在他后来的音乐道路上给予了不少帮助。科拉（Kora）是一种流传于西非的21弦琴。其琴身与欧洲的鲁特琴（Lute）相似，而其弦的分布却又类似竖琴（Harp）。它的演奏方法犹如弗拉门戈吉他般复杂多样。由科拉琴演奏出来的音乐流露出了非洲人的另一种特质和祥和。在许多人眼中，非洲音乐不是蹦蹦跳跳的鼓击音乐就是带着肃穆而又神秘色彩的宗教音乐。然而，与许多受过大苦难的民族一样，非洲人那种宁静的精神世界同样可以通过音乐来感动世界。
