Riverboat Records and World Music Network are proud to present Sabou by the legendary West African singer and kora player Mory Kanté.

An exceptionally talented griot from Guinea in West Africa and a contemporary with Salif Keita in the Rail Band back in the 1970s, Mory Kanté has produced a stunning new album of depth and poise that is firmly grounded in his traditional griot roots.
