Join 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.
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.
