Bassekou calls this new group Ngoni Ba, adding two traditional percussionists and his wife, Amy Sacko, on vocals.
NPR: Bassekou Kouyate And Ngoni Ba: Griot Music
His griot family has included noted ngoni players for many generations, but Bassekou has re-invented both the ngoni and its musical role.
He plays the ngoni, the traditional lute from Mali that dates back hundreds of years and is the musical forebear of the American banjo.
He's added several strings to create a seven-string instrument, and has created the first all-ngoni group, featuring four different-sized instruments, including a bass ngoni, also his invention.
