music for children and young people
In West Africa, stories are being told accompanied by the beautiful sounds of the kora. Maher Cissoko from Senegal was born into a famous family of kora players and Sousou, from the Scania region of Sweden, is one of few female kora musicians in the world.
Our concerts for children and young people:
The Magical World Of The Kora
In this concert, for children from the age of five, we throw you straight into a mesmerizing world of songs and stories, with roots from the Middle Ages. A family concert for both young and old, that has been touring for several years in concert halls and schools.
Storytelling concert
In a storytelling concert for 6th-9th grade students, we play songs about leaving one’s homeland and family, with expectations of succeeding abroad, about plight and poverty, but also about the strength in believing in oneself, to dare to love and to devote oneself, beyond all prejudice and fear.
