Join us for another SONIC TRIFECTA at Harmonie Hall - this time featuring 72nd-generation Kora player, @youbacissokho and high-vibe musicians and song carriers @fayeadindamusic and @yonestad!
Jaya Kava will be serving non-alcoholic herbal elixirs and vegan treats all night long.
THE MAIN ACT: Youba the Kora Player
The kora, or a type of harp made from a calabash gourd, was commissioned by West African kings to recount songs of folklore and love. Youba fluently plays this traditional Mandinka and Wolof music as well as a modern style made up of jazz, reggae, and Afro beats. His lilting sound and expansive range comes from a lifelong exposure to a rich musical diversity. His father is Issa Cissokho, the saxophone player for the legendary world music group Orchestra Baobab, which blended Latin and Caribbean music with West African styles.
OPENING MUSICIAN : Yoni
Yoni tickles soundwaves for the sake of building community, growing love and freeing our feelings. And because it feels SO GOOD! He brings a long history of song-leading in ceremonial music and jam bands. Yoni went around the world on a boat, lived 250 feet aloft in ancient redwoods, started two summer camps, and is an anchor in the NW Philly creative community. He brings his whole self to you, from the silly to the sublime — get excited!
SONG CIRLCE : Faye Adinda
Tap into the magic of singing in community with “Singing in Love” festival co-founder Faye Ma! Singing sacred songs together can be an unbelievably ecstatic experience of healing and belonging.
