SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: The West African Harp (Kora) with Sean Gaskell
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an afternoon of music and history as Sean Gaskell 
 features songs on the kora--a 21 string West African harp.\nThe kora is 
 traditionally played by oral historians known as Griots. Many songs 
 preserve an 800 year history dating back to the start of the Mandinka 
 Empire. \n\nAbout Sean Gaskell: \nIn 2008\, 2012\, and 2018\, Sean Gaskell 
 studied extensively under the instruction of Moriba Kuyateh and the late 
 Malamini Jobarteh at their home in Brikama\, Gambia. In 2023\, he spent a 
 month in Senegal studying with Youssoupha Cissokho and his son Mamadou 
 Cissokho. Gaskell has presented at nearly 400 libraries throughout the US 
 and Canada as well as a multitude of K-12 Schools colleges\, universities\, 
 and assisted living facilities. \n\nThis program is sponsored by the 
 Friends of the Boca Raton Public Library. \n\nReserve a seat to receive a 
 reminder but all drop-ins are welcome!
