From the twelfth century until today, griots, known as “the Bards of West Africa”, have transmitted their music and knowledge from generation to generation through a sophisticated and unbroken oral tradition. Griot and master of the kora, Ablaye Cissoko and Kiya Tabassian, master setar player, perform the intersecting music of the Mandinka Kingdom, Persian Empire, and European Baroque, taking the audience on a journey across regions and eras.
