Artist Website

With her shimmering 21-string Kora melodies and heart-swelling vocals, Sona Jobarteh is “a griot for a new generation of West Africans” (BBC). Breaking from a seven-century-old tradition which reserved the instrument for males of a hereditary musical family, Jobarteh is not only the first female Kora virtuoso, but also a formal innovator who “blends traditional music, blues, and Afropop to impressive effect’ (The Guardian).
