The balafon is a tuned West African percussion instrument. It is the ancestor of the marimba, xylophone and vibraphone, and has been known in the Malian Empire since the 12th century. There are different types of balafons but the balafon taught in Kirina is the Malinké balafon, whose notes are displayed from left to right on a chromatic scale. Enjoy this performance of Lamine Kouyate and Moussa Kouyate Students at the program. | Playing For Change Foundation

Did you know that the oral histories of the balafon date it back to at least the rise of the Mali Empire in the 12th century CE? The balafon is a true work of art and an integral member of the idiophone family of tuned percussion instruments which includes the xylophone, marimba, glockenspiel, and vibraphone. The balafon’s beautiful sound is produced by striking the tuned keys with two padded sticks. | African Drumming
