About this eventJoin us for a rare evening of deep listening and musical remembrance in the West African kora tradition, where sound carries history, lineage, and living story.
An intimate evening exploring the subtle depths of musical & historical remembrance in West African Kora tradition. Following the musical strings of memory through the fog of amnesia toward a resurgent humanity.
An evening of stories, songs, and remembrance honoring lineage, awakening memory, and reconnecting us with what has endured across generations. In turbulent times, we gather as an antidote to dull digital mediocrity: to listen, remember, and follow the threads that lead us back to our shared humanity.
Featuring Salif Bamakora (Gordon Hellegers), a kora musician of over 25 years and primary student of Madou Sidiki Diabaté for 20 years, this gathering weaves traditional Mande Djeliya repertoire with the cultural and historical currents that shaped it. Salif is a seasoned presenter on world stages, a foundational member of SIMRIT, and a periodic collaborator with Estas Tonne. Expect traditional gems, original compositions, and spontaneous improvisation.
An evening that is a ceremony of listening, learning and a doorway into the long memory of music. Bring your presence. The kora will do the rest.
