Smith World Music Series welcomes Malian virtuoso Ballaké Sissoko and Derek Gripper, South Africa’s leading guitarist, in an Eastman Presents performance that looks at the unbroken musical tradition of the griots of Mali—through French occupation and colonization, it still emerged as one of humanity’s most astonishing aural traditions.
