Sona Jobarteh & Band - Kanu

Sona Jobarteh performed in Weimar on invitation of the University of Music FRANZ LISZT Weimar and its UNESCO Chair of Transcultural Music Studies (TMS). The TMS Chair regularly invites artists to bring the musicology students into contact with various musical cultures for inspiration and exchange.
Sona Jobarteh is the first female Kora virtuoso to come from a west African Griot family. The Kora is one of the most important instruments belonging to the Manding peoples of West Africa (Gambia, Senegal, Mali, Guinea and Guinea-Bissau). It belongs exclusively to griot families, and usually only men who are born into these families have the right to take up the instrument professionally. Sona Jobarteh combines various genres of African Music and western musical elements.
Sonah Jobarteh - Acoustic Guitar/ Kora/ Vocals
Maurice Brown - Acoustic Guitar
Andi McLean - Electric Bass/ BVs
Mouhamadou Sarr - Djembe/ Congas/ Calabash/ BVs
Recorded on 1 July 2015 at the "mon ami", Weimar.

Sona, I feel fortunate to have found your music. It brought sunshine to my house during the COVID-19 lock down, and I am certain it will continue to do so. Thank you!

Uzayın derinliklerinden gelen ilahi bir ses gibi etkileyici...Anlamaya gerek kalmıyor. Ruh melodiyle bütünleşiyor zaten. Teşekkürler.

Excellent sound quality, enjoyed it so much. Thanks from California USA

[@sida3590]

Loved how the audience participated for as long as she encouraged for! Her music just hits the spot...even though I'm not sure what she's singing about (gotta get me the translation). My family is 3rd gen east African, Kenyan. I am the first person in my family born in Australia and unfortunately don't know much Swahili let alone other dialects...but we've always been close to our African roots. SJ's music just brings all the feels pouring out.
