Experience the enchanting sounds of the kora, a 21-stringed West African harp, at this free performance with Sean Gaskell. Traditionally played by oral historians known as Griots, the kora's music preserves an 800-year legacy. Gaskell, who studied with master musicians in Gambia and Senegal, has shared this unique instrument in over 400 libraries and venues across North America.
