  • Performance 8 July 2018.
    Sona Jobarteh is the first female Kora virtuoso from a West African griot family. First in a tradition that is several centuries old, in which the Kora mastery was exclusively passed down from father to son. Since the release of her album 'Fasiya', she is justifiably praised, both as an instrumentalist and vocalist.
    Live, she is accompanied by four musicians.
    Sona Jobarteh: kora, vocals
    Andi McLean: bass
    Mouhamadou: Sarr percussion
    Derek Johnson: guitar
    Westley Joseph:drums

      "nothing is copied " ...except the melody, the style of playing and the instrumentation. Traditional music is based on imitation. Without copying there would be no tradition.

    I'm from America. Sona Jobarteh is very underrated artist. She has more talent than some of these over rated America artists who like to imitate and copy off of other people's work.
