Today thanks to pledges was an ngoni and djembe day (one of the djembe's was financed by pledging in this photo, it's going to a young group). Photo of the latest incarnation, Invisible System.

Just thought I should also point out this is not a pay a musician once for a session then go project. This is a long term development project between us all involving shared song writing (and rights), and years ahead especially given I am married to a Malian and will at the latest retire in this country, if not return far earlier :) My hope is one day this will become an Non Governmental Organisation or such like. I worked in development for years and always noted the lack of support for artists/musicians and it bugged me. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/invisiblesystem/isim-invisible-system-in-mali
Just had a visit from the neighbour, he plays the kora, has been taking lessons, but doesn't own one so there is a new pledge, to get him one so we can record and he can keep it to learn/play/gig https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/invisiblesystem/isim-invisible-system-in-mali
Recording budget finished. If anyone can help spread the kickstarter please help. Link below. Yesterday was amazing with Astou here. She was SO LOUD! Today a session is booked, tomorrow a friend is helping out with percussion via the djembes the kickstarter bought then we are clean out of funds :( https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/invisiblesystem/isim-invisible-system-in-mali

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/invisiblesystem/isim-invisible-system-in-mali Here is a photo of my main man Sanbougou a la guitare Mandeka (griot). Someone nabbed his fx pedal / guitar synth pedal essential to some griot tunes so I trying to fundraise for that to be replaced too The chap on his left is Sambou who is my other main man on vocals a la griot and his dream is to have his own mic and some speakers to hear himself on / music at home that don't sound like dirt!
Sean Sean TC Watson just upped his pledge from £10 to £50 :) DUDE! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/invisiblesystem/isim-invisible-system-in-mali

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/invisiblesystem/isim-invisible-system-in-mali Yesterday I pulled super Kalif 5 Kone out of a bad situation and got him buzzing on music again. More info on him and photos below via link. This dude has nothing and used to tour America and Europe with Salif Keita and Oumou Sangare but now has no equipment. His dream is to get some amps and a small PA to start a moden Malian electric band/orchestra if you can pledge to help him. Thanks. http://invisiblesysteminmali.weebly.com/blog/day-5
