about

The album "Many Colours of One Heart" is the first album produced by Mohamed and Shyan. It has been such a joy for them both to create it. Often they shared how one another's musical praises had evoked tears of joy and release to spring fourth uncontrollably.
This is actually the first album of it's kind. The first ever Kora and Bansuri album. A unique and very special collaboration indeed.

We have also had the great honour of having two amazing guest percussionists offer their highly developed talent as a contribution to the evolution of this album. One of whom is Amit Mishra on Indian Tabla Drums, who is one of the gems of Indian Classical music today.
The other is Mady Konate on the African Djembe Drum, who is an outstanding percussionist and a pride for Mali. His playful style is a truly relishable treat.

As the title "Many Colours of One Heart" suggests, the album is a celebration of the rich diversity of our planet and co-created reality. An opportunity to experience, through sound, both the spicy variety of magical reflections and yet simultaneously the unifying vibration that holds us all together in one another's conscious awareness.

It is our wish that this album serves to vibrate you into a state of peace and joy.

Here is some information about Mohamed and the Kora Harp.

The Kora harp has a distinct and beautiful sound. It is an ancient instrument that deservedly stands out as a very positive representative of African culture. The sensitive and joyful approach with which Mohamed plays it immediately touches the heart and enlivens the soul.

Mohamed was born into a Mandinka Griot caste family in Mali, West Africa. As a member of a Griot family known as a ‘Jeli’, it was natural for him to assimilate the musical language of their tradition into his identity from his senior relatives. As well as vocal, the Kora harp "double-bridge-harp-lute” is their instrument by which they pass stories that represent their historic stepping stones which have brought them to their current situation and inspired their present sense of identity today.

Learning from his Mother Oumou Dede Damba and Grandmother Dede Kouyate who are both very popular singers, and as well as from the renowned Kora harpist Sidiki Diabaté, son of the legendary Toumani Diabaté, Mohamed is one of the promising gems of this music tradition, whose level of achievement and mastery of this exquisitely beautiful instrument undoubtedly places him as one of the leading torch bearers for illuminating the hearts of many a fortunate listener.

Among his many accomplishments as a Master Kora artist has been to perform on numerous albums collaborating with renowned musicians such as Tiken Jha Fakoly, Wali Seck, Roberto Lutti & Sekouba Bambino.
He has also performed on several national and international stages along side Ballake Sissoko, Fousco and Djeneba. It was his honour to perform in the French Institute of Mali on the Nomadic evening of the Cartier Foundation for Contemporary Art in Paris.

Having accomplished such an array of collaborative projects, as well as individually standing out as a reputable artist whose breathtaking performance can elevate a captive audience from the first note, there is no doubt that Mohamed Saiba Diabaté shall continue to nourish the pride and joy of his family, Mali and Africa.

Here is some information about Shyan and the Bansuri Flute.

The Indian Classical Bansuri Flute is renowned as probably the oldest known melodic instrument. Depicted as the instrument held in the hands of the Hindu God Lord Krishna, the Bansuri is held up in India as a highly revered instrument which serves as a portal into the depths of one's heart. It's tonal qualities instantly have the effect of caressing one into a hypnotic state of bliss and often an ecstatic vibratory conscious realm of euphoria.

Shyan fell in love with the Indian Classical Bansuri flute in 1996. Since that time he has had the honour to be a student of the renowned Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia.

Shyan was instantly hypnotised by the sound of the Bansuri when first initiated to it’s mesmerising tonal qualities and emotionally evocative persuasion.
He has surrendered into the heart of Indian Classical music. The source from which he has drawn inspiration for collaborations with musicians representing an array of musical styles.
He has been touring, performing and teaching worldwide for many years and has offered his talent to many albums and projects. He has produced 21 of his own albums and released 35 Youtube music videos.

Shyan has performed with many distinguished artists such as Sri M. BalaChandar, Deva Premal and Miten, Yangchen Lhamo, Cristina Spinei to name but a few.
In the arms of music Shyan has discovered the depths of his own heart. His service and joy is to share love through music.


The Bansuri and Kora seem to blend and dance together with such delicate grace and playful ease. The deep entrancing tones of the Bansuri seem to flow and weave within the space offered by the sparkling notes which sing sonorously from the resonate strings of the Kora.

This is a combination that we feel shall take you to the heavenly realms of blissful joy, just as it does us.

Thank you for enjoying this musical offering
