SENEGAL - Kadialy Kouyate: Toña

: Rooted in the Mandinka idea that history and ancestry shape identity and guide the future, Toña reflects on Kadialy Kouyate’s rich heritage as a Kouyate griot and his distinctive style of kora playing, shaped via his life history thus far. With gratitude for the past and optimism for the future, Kadialy continues to refine his artistry, weaving tradition with personal expression.
