SUMMARY:Sufi Roots & Rhythms: Diali Cissokho Trio
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to relax into the moment, leaning into the tipping point of rhythms at-once familiar and distinctly expansive.\nSufi Roots & Rhythms is a musical adventure at Boxyard RTP. From groove-based Sufi and Hindustani to Sengalese Kora, you’ll discover new sounds by artists living right here in North Carolina.\nFeaturing: Diali Cissokho Trio ( https://www.instagram.com/mande.music )\nThe Diali Cissokho Trio brings together three internationally acclaimed musicians whose work blends deep cultural roots with emotional resonance. United by their devotion to the transformative power of music, each member of the trio brings a unique perspective, celebrating and crossing cultural boundaries with their mastery of West African rhythms and instruments.\nDiali Cissokho, a virtuoso kora player and percussionist from Senegal, hails from a long line of Manding griots, whose role as historians and storytellers has been passed down through generations.\nWill Ridenour, a kora player and percussionist from Greensboro, NC was drawn to West African music after a life-changing encounter with traditional dance.\nAtiba Rorie, a skilled percussionist and founder of the multi-genre band Africa Unplugged, has studied with masters such as Bradley, Simmons, Babatunde Olatunji, and Chief Bey.\nTogether, the Diali Cissokho Trio creates a powerful collective force, merging their individual expertise to uplift and inspire. Through their performances and teachings, they offer a profound, cross-cultural experience, using the universal language of music to heal, connect, and inspire.\nNote: By participating in this event, you consent to the recording of your likeness, image, and/or voice and authorize Boxyard RTP to use photographs, video, and audio recordings containing your likeness, image, and/or voice in any medium for any purpose.\nGot questions?
