Livery Concert with Madou Sidiki
Madou Sidiki Diabatè started playing the kora at age three. By the time he was six years old, he was playing his first concert as a representative of the 71st generation of kora players in his family. He learned his art under his father, Sidiki Diabaté, a man generally referred to as the “King of the Kora”.
His elder brother, Toumani Diabaté is also a famed korist and Grammy Award winner. If Madou Sidiki Diabaté’s lineage is formidable, then so is his talent. In his element, as he was during the Amarrass Desert Music Festival at New Delhi, he evinces astonishment, amazement and gasps of wonder from the audience. In this 30-year-old’s hands, the kora is full of deception: it looks like a simple, even rustic instrument capable of basic sounds. But close your eyes and you hear many musicians in harmony.
Madou captures that traditional sound and infuses his own jazz sensibilities in his first live solo kora album. Recorded at the Amarrass Desert Music Festival held November 26 and 27, 2011 in New Delhi, India, this is the music of his forefathers of the Griot community—West Africa’s historians and storytellers, his roots embedded in every chord.

Fire Department Notice
Did you know that there is a town ordinance in Sunapee that requires your house number to be clearly visible from the road?
#9 of the Sunapee "Street Naming and Numbering Ordinance" states that "...owners of all buildings that are numbered will cause these numbers to be affixed in a place that is readily visible from the numbered way with the unaided eye in natural daylight. These numbers will be at least four inches high and in a contrasting color to the background."
Having your house number clearly visible from the road helps us to be able to respond quickly to the correct house in an emergency!
The Sunapee Fire Department Association is running a fundraiser that will allow you to purchase a hi-vis reflective house number that conforms to the Sunapee Town Ordinance and will greatly aide in our response to help in our town.
Please view and print the attached photos, or visit the SFDA website at www.sunapeefireassoc.org/Fundraisers/ to download the PDF, fill it out and mail it with payment to the Sunapee Fire Department Association address listed. Please make checks payable to "Sunapee Fire Department Association".
You can order single or double sided numbers and you can order as many as you need.
Please think about ordering one or two to place on your BOAT DOCK if you have a property on the water! We respond to many emergencies on the water, and having a house number that is visible from the water could help save a life!
