June 29, 2023

On 21.6.2023 we celebrated the `Day of Music` in front of our store in Zofingen.

In the afternoon there was a great children animation with Renato Britto:

and in the evening after the Kora lessons a wonderful concert with Kora (Sadio Cissokho) and Cello (Hannah Chaia).

Here I would like to tell the story of Sadio:

Since his birth, Sadio Cissokho has been surrounded by music, singing and dancing. His family especially used to play the traditional West African Kora (African harp) and the Djembe drum. Thus, Sadio was also introduced to the art of music making by his father and brothers. At the age of only 10, he was able to gain his first performance experience with group "Ninki Nanka". Concerts in Gambia and Senegal followed. In 2006 Sadio Cissokho became a soloist with the "Ballet Silaba de Thiaroye 44" and performed at festivals in Africa and China. He also conducts workshops in Senegal, Spain and Switzerland. Further engagements follow at the "Ecole de Sable" (School for African Dance and Contemporary Dance) in Senegal, as well as a member of his brother Ablaye Cissokho's band with numerous concerts in Senegal, Gambia and Europe. Since 2015 Sadio lives in Switzerland, teaches Djembe in Will, is active as a soloist in Afro dance courses and tours with various formations through Switzerland and Europe.

The concert was wonderful, who wants to watch it, can do that thanks to Felix production here:
