Traditionally played by oral historians, the kora, a 21-stringed West African harp, preserves an 800-year history dating back to the founding of the Mande Empire. Sean Gaskell, who studied extensively under kora masters, will talk about that history, educate us about the instrument, and perform several songs. Come and enjoy this beautiful combination of music and culture. For all ages.
