Balla Kouyate and World Vision

Date: February 17, 2012 Time: 8:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Event Description Balla Kouyate is considered to be among the greatest players of the balafon (predecessor to the xylophone) from the griot tradition in Mali. He plays two instruments to get a chromatic scale, which allows him to play any genre and any key. He moves effortlessly and dexterously between the balafons, delivering his signature roulements and complex improvisations. Kouyate is joined in this performance by his ensemble, World Vision, fresh from a recent performance at the Kennedy Center. Sponsored by the Middlebury College Performing Arts Series, and presented in conjunction with the exhibition Environment and Object in Recent African Art. Reserved Seating.
