Dubbed the "Jimi Hendrix of the kora" (a 21-string West African harp), Diabate has toured Africa, Europe, Canada and the US, developing a distinctive style, characterized by a lightning-quick, percussive technique coupled with a dynamic stage presence and the occasional use of the wah-wah pedal. In addition to the kora, Prince will bring powerful vocals and another West African string instrument, the kamelen n'goni.
