Sona Jobarteh

We have partnered with The Sheldon Concert Hall to offer you a series of concerts this spring. This event is accessible to Arts & Sciences Graduate Students only.

The spirit of Sona Jobarteh’s musical work stands on the mighty shoulders of The West African Griot Tradition; she is a living archive of the Gambian people. With one ear on the family’s historic reputation, one on the all-important future legacy and her heart in both places, she is preparing a place today for the next generation. Her singing and Kora playing while fronting her band, spring directly from this tradition. 

 

We are offering 15 tickets to this concert; This is first come, first served. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP below.
