First released in 1988, Kaira was the debut album by Toumani Diabaté, master player of the kora - the West African harp with 21 strings.

Kaira remains one of the most important and influential kora albums of all time. It was the first international release to feature a solo kora without voice.

The album turned Toumani into a star overnight, whilst also establishing the kora's reputation as one of Africa's most captivating and versatile indigenous instruments.
