Toumani Diabaté: July 5/07 at Harbourfront Centre 

The kick off to Afrofest 2007 brought the world's greatest Kora player, Toumani Diabaté to town with his big dance band, the Symmetric Orchestra. A highly anticipated show (he hadn't toured North America since 1989), I consider the best African concert of the year to date.
