Library Concert Series:
Sean Gaskell - West African Kora Friday, June 5 | 5:00pm-6:00pm
Dunaway Community Room | All Ages
Sean Gaskell features songs on the kora, a 21-stringed West African harp.
He studied under the extensive instruction of Moriba Kuyateh and the late Malamini Jobarteh in Gambia, and both Youssoupha Cissokho and Mamadou Cissokho in Senegal.
The kora is traditionally played by oral historians known as Griots. Many songs featured on the kora preserve an 800-year history dating back to the founding of the Mande empire.
