Njok,
 
The kora man was invited by the Black Studies Program, of which I am not a faculty member. I first heard of him from a professor in that program.  I am a member of the History department, specializing in African history. I think it was pure coincidence that we both come from The Gambia. I think he is based in New York but is very widely knowwn among academic insititutions around the U.S. where he routinely performs. Overall though, his performance was very well received. Thanks for the kind compliments on the presentation.
 
By the way, just curious: what do you think one needs to talk to him about? His accounts, music, jokes?
 
Baba

Hello Friends,
 
I thought I should share this Youtube video on a Gambian griot performance at Creighton University. Alhaji Pappa Suso, accompanied by balafon player Bala Kuyateh, was invited to the Creighton campus by the Uniersity's Black Studies Program as part of activities marking Black History Month. I was asked to give the introductory remarks explaining the role of the griot in Mande society.
