- Published: 18 January 2024 18 January 2024
The performance will take place at the Silver City Public Library, 515 W. College Ave. in Silver City, NM on Friday, February 9th, 2024 at 4pm. This concert is free to the public thanks to the generous support of the Friends of the Library!
Sean Gaskell features songs on the kora- a 21 stringed West African harp. As a student of the instrument, he studied under the instruction of two musicians at their home in Brikama, Gambia, over multiple extensive visits. The kora is traditionally played by oral historians known as Griots. Many songs featured on the kora preserve an 800 year history dating back to the founding of the Mande empire. Gaskell has presented adult, youth and family programs at over 350 libraries and a multitude of k-12 schools, colleges, universities and assisted living facilities throughout the United States and Canada.
