STRINGS OF LEGACY | The Kora & the West African Griot
In many West African cultures, history lives in music, memory, and storytelling.
At the heart of this tradition is the Griot (Jeli)—storyteller, historian, and musician—whose 21‑string Kora carries centuries of wisdom, celebration, struggle, and resilience.
As part of Black History Month, join us for an evening of: • Live kora performance by master musicians
• Storytelling through music
• Cultural connection and reflection
