Diali Cissokho and Kaira Ba and The Mason Via Band at The Blue Ridge Music Center
Diali Cissokho and Kaira Ba bring their West African Folk, Dance and Funk traditions to The Blue Ridge Music Center. Mason Via and band will open the show.

Combining passionate originality and fierce authenticity, Diali Cissokho & Kaira Ba take West African dance music into new territorythe North Carolina Piedmont. Thats where Cissokho, a griot born to a family of professional musicians in Senegal, now makes his home. The repertoire is pure Manding, the centuries-old musical culture of Cissokhos ancestors. Its reformulated with modernizing impulses in a band format: agile basslines interweave with the melodic twins of kora and electric guitar, undergirded by an explosive rhythm section of djembe and trapset drums. Kora master Cissokho is also the groups vocal frontman.
