Thanks all for joining us last night at the Sheldonian Theatre! Oxford Millenium Orchestra and Charlie Cunningham, we couldnt have done it without you. Joining us on the 13th for the 2nd of these dates, is Jali Fily Cissokho maestro of the kora (african harp-lute). The date is already sold out... Senegalese master musician Jali Fily Cissokho plays the 21 string West African kora/harp. Jali Fily comes from a family of musicians, the skills and traditions passed down from generation to generation. Yet, as a citizen of 21st Century, he is also attuned to the rhythms of the present and future, creating a unique natural musical blend that spans centuries and continents. His performances range from solo traditional Mande music and song to rocking electro-kora with his Coute Diomboulou Band. His repertoire, now expanded whilst working with other musicians, shows his versatility as a performer and composer, able to cross boundaries from classical to rock with his extraordinary talent. His traditional music has also been used on film including, David Attenboroughs Elephants, A.R. Rahmans Bollywood Ravan. https://youtube/watch?v=Tsh7UeXH6eU jalifilycissokho.co.uk/videos.html
