Kaira Ba

Kaira Ba brings West African musical traditions to life through the artistry of Diali Cissokho, a griot—a keeper of village history and culture through song—who comes from a celebrated lineage of these important cultural storytellers. Cissokho and his ensemble create a dynamic sound by blending the traditional kora (a stringed instrument) with contemporary electric guitar and energetic rhythms, offering audiences a bridge between heritage and modern musical expression. This concert is a wonderful introduction to world music for families interested in exploring different cultures through live performance. Tickets range from $25 to $45, and you can purchase them by contacting the box office. Whether you're seeking an educational and entertaining evening or simply want to experience something musically unique, this event offers both.
