        Ali Farka Toure & Toumani Diabate—"Sabu Yerkoy"

        Two of the most virtuosic African musicians, both from Mali. Ali Farka Toure plays guitar with a distinct style that shows traces of American blues. Toumani Diabate plays the 21-stringed kora, a traditional instrument made from a calabash gourd.
