July 29, 2023 @ 11:00am-12:00pm

Free

Sayon Camara is a cultural ambassador for his people, the Malinke (or Mandingo) of the Sankaran region of Guinea. He is a keeper of generations of village music that he loves to share, to create joy and carry his culture forward in the world. Sayon creates villages wherever he goes. His goodwill as a person, impeccable mastery of traditional drumming music and performance as a djembefola (one who plays the djembe) are magnetizing. By perfecting his artistry and his heart he insures that Malinke culture will be remembered. Sayon will stage a participatory performance of traditional music from his home village in the Sankaran region of Guinea, West Africa. He passionately and respectfully delivers the songs and stories of his people, infusing them with the gentle electrifying warmth of pure joy and crystalline clarity combined with an impeccable sense of time. Be ready to respond with song in Sayon’s original language, to hear the rich oral stories behind the music, and to feel the irresistible pull of the rhythms bringing you to movement and dance.
