Balla and Sekou Kouyate—What sounds can a Balafon make?

Balla Kouyate is considered to be among the greatest balafon players from the griot tradition in Mali. The balafon is a West African ancestor to the xylophone. Balla, who began playing the balafon at age six, shares the stage with his son Sekou (age four), accompanying his dad on the djembe drum.
