  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.ย. 2018
  • 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

    Hello Sona, I found you a few days ago. I am a Black African Guyanes. I do love all the Instruments played. I love my Black African Brothers and Sisters. I am an Actress and have made Films in many African Countries. Raised in the UK, when I have to go back after filming, I cry. Mother Africa is so beautiful. God bless her and her Peoples. Thank you.

    For those non-pula (non-fulani, non-peul) people Gainaako simply means one who looks after livestock; a livestock rearer or generally a herdsman. Thanks oh Sona for the gentle and beautiful song. The serenity of the song captures and depicts the gentleness of the pula as a people. I'm Fulani from Nigeria. I love you.
