From the venue:
Experience the sounds of West Africa at Decatur Library! Musician Sean Gaskell will perform on the Kora, a traditional 21-string harp.
Gaskell studied the Kora in Gambia under master musicians. During this event, he will play traditional songs and explain the instrument’s 800-year history. The Kora, made from a large gourd covered in cowhide, is known for its complex, rippling sound.
This family-friendly performance is free and open to the public. Funding is provided by the Friends of the Decatur Library.
