West African Music Performance
Description
Enjoy a West African music performance with Arouna and Zaza Diarra. Arouna Diarra, originally from Burkina Faso, West Africa, is an accomplished n’goni and balafon player. He performs a tradition of folk songs that reflect topics ranging from war to building love for one another. Arouna and his wife Zaza sing with spirit, nostalgia, and great joy in their native language, Bambara. They bring a dynamic repertoire to the stage, full of rhythmic changes and improvisational prowess. Arouna plays the kamale n’goni, a 14-string harp-like instrument, and the kora, a 21-string instrument (which he makes himself), with both melodic and percussive sensibility.
