Step into the world of West African music with a Kora class led by the respected griot Sheriffo Kanuteh.

The Kora, a 21-stringed harp-lute, has a rich history rooted in the traditions of griots, who once played a pivotal role in preserving the stories and culture of the Mali Empire.

In this class, you’ll not only learn how to play this beautiful instrument but also understand its historical significance, construction, and its role in the vibrant musical traditions of The Gambia.

From learning basic playing techniques to mastering traditional songs, this hands-on workshop offers a deep dive into the soul-stirring sounds of the Kora. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, Sheriffo will guide you every step of the way.

In addition to Kora classes, Sheriffo also offers Balafon lessons, allowing you to explore the rhythmic sounds of another iconic West African instrument. Whether you’re interested in one or both, he’ll ensure a personalized learning experience tailored to your needs.

Classes are arranged based on your convenience, either at an agreed location, Sheriffo's home, or at your place, making it easy to learn at your own pace and comfort.
