Murray, KY – We regularly present Bela Fleck's bluegrass banjo virtuosity during Saturday's Music from the Front Porch. Fleck is touring the country with musicians of Africa, including a concert at Nashville's Ryman auditorium next Wednesday. He's produced a documentary movie about African music with a companion CD, both titled "Throw Down Your Heart." Kate Lochte asks him about Malian Kora master Toumani Diabate who is one of the musicians with whom he's on tour.
