[Alumni Lounges] Salieu Suso, a Gambian master musician and kora-harp player, will visit Ramapo for a performance-demonstration and discussion on Tuesday, February 21, 6-7:30 p.m. in the Alumni Lounges in the Student Center. Mr. Suso comes from a long line of jali/griots (musicians/historians/storytellers) in the Gambia and has lived in New York since 1989. He will explain his family’s heritage, the role of jali in his West African culture, the kora, and his music. The kora is a magnificent 21-stringed harp played with both hands, fingers and thumbs separated to play three parts simultaneously. The event is funded by a CA Platinum Grant and organized by the Music Program; it contributes to the college-wide Year of Sub-Saharan Africa and Black History Month.
