🎼 Join the Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology and the PVD World Music Institute for a performance by internationally respected musician Steven Sogo of the inanga – an important instrument from Africa’s Great Lakes region. The inanga is a trough-shaped string instrument, and is linked to the development of musical genres and linguistic practices that reach far back into the region’s past and continue today.
Following the concert, participate in a learning experience and demonstration with Chance Boas, founder of Providence World Music Institute, and Haffenreffer Museum Head Curator, Thierry Gentis for a vibrant discussion of inanga’s history and use while engaging in close looking activities with inangas from the HMA collection!
