What
Salieu Suso has been playing the kora longer than most of us have been alive. Born into a family of Griots or Jali, traditional musicians and historians from Gambia, West Africa, he was trained to play the kora by his father Alhaji Musa Makang Suso, a renowned kora player of that region and descendant of Jali Mady Wuleng Suso, the originator of the kora instrument. Salieu learned the kora while studying the genealogy and history of the Mandinka people. By the age of 15, Salieu had become a master. He has performed widely throughout the U.S., Africa and Europe, and is known for his diverse range of musical collaborations.
He was a regular performer at Bunna before covid, so we are happy to have him back again for this era!
With Bailo Bah on Fala Flute and Mamadou Konate on Drum.
Starts at 7:30, free with dinner. Everything is Eshi.
