CTWMF Review Local guitarist Derek Gripper took to the acoustic stage and, with his relaxed and composed demeanour, dazzled his listeners with his immense skill and emotional depth. Using each note thoughtfully, Gripper created the effect of a Kora (a 21 string African harp-lute) on his guitar as he interpreted traditional Mali folk songs. His fingers danced along the fret board while conjuring up images of nature and vast open spaces. At one point during the performance, the heavens opened and the rain came tipping down onto the tent in a rhythmic pattern that seemed to sync with Gripper’s playing, as if he and Mother Nature were engaging in a spiritual conversation. cool. Was a seriously hip little weekend that was.
