In a "previous" life, 15 years ago, I worked with African musicians... and produced a few albums.

Here's a video of Djeli Moussa Diawara rehearsing Yasimika in 2010. This is a song he first recorded in 1982 for his famous eponym album and that was revisited and rerecorded at the time.

Dianne White Oyler discusses the creation of the N'ko alphabet, based on the Maninka language, by Souleymane Kanté (1922-1987) in 1949 in Haute Guinée (Guinea). She carefully documents N'ko's dissemination by a grassroots literacy campaign that started with Kanté and continues to the present. Her analysis shows the importance of language in transnational identity and the cultural nationalism of Mande-speaking people in West Africa. Oyler also discusses Kanté's and Nko's relationship to Pan-Africanism.
