Global Music Series : Diali Cissokho, renowned Senegalese Griot Kora Player and Vocalist

Diali Cissokho ecstatically explores the spiritual songs, stories, and rhythms of Senegal’s millennia-old Mandé culture. Cissokho comes from a long line of prominent griots who are entrusted to maintain a West African village’s genealogies and important ceremonial affairs through song. Cissokho effortlessly integrates the traditional sounds of the kora with a modern rush of electric guitar.
