::| Born in Boudefo, Mali, Balla Tounkara represents the next wave of a |::
::| family rich in the griot tradition. Learning to play the tama, the |::
::| doundoun and djembe drums expertly as a young boy in Boudefo, the |::
::| former heart of the Malian Empire, Tounkara embraced his role as a |::
::| griot from an early age. The mountainous, agricultural town located in |::
::| the state of Kita is revered as the spiritual epicenter of griot |::
::| culture, an element that Tounkara fully appreciates. "Boudefo is one |::
::| family," says Tounkara, "I learned the tradition. That's who I am." |::
::| |::
::| Upon leaving Boudefo for Mali's capital city of Bamako, Tounkara was |::
::| able to sneak in time with his grandfather's kora, and his persistence |::
::| eventually gained him the tutelage of his grandfather and mentor. |::
::| Extremely in tune with his surroundings, Tounkara was naturally |::
::| inclined to integrate his thoughts on life, spirituality, and culture |::
::| into the music he would soon master. Such complexity and depth can be |::
::| felt in Tounkara's instrumental renditions here, as the kora master |::
::| dexterously layers a bass line, rhythm and melody simultaneously. The |::
::| result is nothing less than hypnotic. |::
::| |::
::| Known for his generous heart, Tounkara is proud that his music has |::
::| spread from the now-ailing village of Boudefo to streets of Bamako, and |::
::| indeed the rest of the world. An active ambassador for traditional |::
::| African music, Tounkara's ongoing charity, and an appreciation for the |::
::| simple things in life have raised his profile from that of a local jeli |::
::| to that of global griot. His dedication to tradition and his truly |::
::| magical spirit assure that the ancient musical treasures of Mali will |::
::| continue to reverberate for generations to come. (spasong.com) |::
::| |::
::| (Ripper's Note: Sorry for the bad scans. Balla Tounkara is now a |::
::| resident of Boston, MA, USA. The artwork on the cover scan is done by |::
::| Urs-P Twellman: http://www.twellmann.ch/) |::
