Kora Workshop for Beginners and Advanced with Moussa Cissokho

Saturday 12 march 2022 from 14:00 - 16:30

The kora is widespread in the coastal states of West Africa (Senegal to Togo), as well as in Mali and Burkina Faso, and is a popular solo and orchestral instrument there. It consists of a bulbous calabash body, a long neck and mostly 21 strings that are arranged in two rows, has a wide range of playing options and can be combined very well with different voices, percussion and melody instruments. Typical for playing the kora are rhythmically imaginative melody improvisations.

Moussa Cissokho was given the kora game by his father, who was a noted musicien in Senegal. As a musician, he lives in Austria today and repeatedly tours the world with his kora.

Moussa teaches the principle of listening-looking-replaying without the use of notes. Both beginners and advanced learners are welcome. The students will be allowed to learn individually at their level.
