Sekouba Traore performs in the ancient style of donso ngoni, that of the hunters of Mali. The "donso ngoni" is a large, six-stringed hunter's harp. Sekouba's trio features two donso ngonis and a percussion scraper, the "karagnon". These hunters do astounding dances while still playing their instruments. - J. Kertzer
