Korabaroꓘ – Mamadou Dramé, Céline Scheen, Karim Baggili

What do you get if you bring together a soprano, a guitarist who also plays the oud and a player of the African harp, a traditional instrument of the West African griots? Well on Thursday 21 November 2024, Céline Scheen (soprano), Mamadou Dramé (kora and vocals) and Karim Baggili (guitar and oud) aim to find out.

As part of Les Salons en Musique at the Institut français du Royaume-Uni in South Kensington, with the support of EFG London Jazz Festival, the three musicians present Korabaroꓘ: A Fusion of West African and Baroque Music where the programme moves between the Italians Frescobaldi, Monteverdi, and Strozzi, the English Dowland and Purcell, the French Henri De Bailly and music by the performers Mamadou Dramé and Karim Baggili. The result should be an intriguing cross-fertilisation.

Full details from the Institut français website.
