GLOBAL ARTS LIVE 2ND ANNUAL GALA FEAT. SONA JOBARTEH BAND
Saturday, March 22 2025 7:30PM EDT
55 Davis Square, Somerville

A modern-day griot, Sona Jobarteh contemporizes the presentation of the kora, a West African stringed instrument, by breaking gender barriers and playing while standing. Performing with an electric Afropop band, she sings about cultural identity, gender, love, and respect.
