About this Event
Join us on November 26th, from 7 PM to 9 PM, for a vibrant and authentic jam session. Everyone is welcome, whether you’re a musician, a storyteller, or simply curious. We will be giving intentional space to musicians, inviting them to bring their instruments, improvise, and lead the flow, while others are encouraged to listen, witness, and join the rhythm respectfully.
The aim is to co-create a true jam session atmosphere, embracing spontaneity, connection, and collective energy inspired by the Griot narrative.
Over the past two years, Alizée has been developing Griot: The Circle of Souls, an evolving creative project exploring storytelling, sound, and shared presence.
FREE WORKSHOP
Everyone is welcome - please RSVP! We can’t wait to have you in this space to be part of our creative journey. Come experience the process, share in the story, and take part in an inspiring evening of communal expression.
