Beautiful traditional acoustic music from the desert nomads and Royal Court Music traditions of Mali brought by The African Classical Music Ensemble. Recently featured in a documentary-film on Mali, these wonderful musicians bring the sweet, delicate plucking sounds of the kora, the gentle enchanting rhythms of the small udu drum, plus the haunting melodies of the African violin and other traditional instruments. In this unique collaboration with multi-media visual artist Sunara Begum, striking projected images of Africa evoke a captivating sense of its culture and history, exploring these ancient traditions in a new light.
