World Music Matters - Sona Jobarteh: Changing the tradition of kora playing to ensure its survival - a podcast by RFI

Sona Jobarteh comes from a long West African tradition of Griots and kora players from Mali and The Gambia. She's become one of the rare women in the world to master the 21-string instrument which is traditionally reserved to men. She talks to RFI about working within the tradition to be better able to expand it.
