About
A modern-day griot, Sona Jobarteh contemporizes the presentation of the kora, a West African stringed instrument, by breaking gender barriers and playing while standing. Performing with an electric Afropop band, she sings about cultural identity, gender, love, and respect. This concert is part of the 2nd Annual Gala for Global Arts Live. For more information regarding this fundraising event including sponsorship opportunities and the After-Party featuring Orquestra Akokán please visit globalartslive.org/gala or call 617.876.4275.
