More, please

So you and your friends are under the stars in Toubab Dialaw, the lilt of the kora filling your ears. Your eyes are closed, but only so you can hear better. The kora player mistakenly thinks you've heard enough, but that's the furthest thing from your mind. The music stops, and your momentary disappointment is dispelled when you hear one of your friends say, politely,

Play more music, please.

Then the world is OK again.
