There's an annual festival in the Czech Republic called Folk Holidays where folk and strings have always belonged together. One of their best CD releases of live recordings has Seckou Keita singing with his African kora, Antonio Toleda & Antonio Forcione playing acoustic guitar, Germán López on the timple, Martin Krajíček mandolin, Juraj Valenčík on double-bass, and on violins, Juraj Stieranka and the late Jitka Šuranská (who was integral part of putting this great lineup together).  You'll hear 14 mins of musical brilliance as part of our feast on music featuring variations on the guitar.
