LIVE AT THE MIDDLE EAST CORNER

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10TH 10:30pm-1:30am
@ The Middle East Corner, Central Square

BALLA TOUNKARA, singer / kora master, was born into one of the Mali's
most prestigious griot families. He studied the kora with his grandfathers,
master kora player Batouroue Sekou Kouyate and Samakou Tounkara.
Balla's deep devotion to Manding music and his mastery of the kora were
further expanded by his interest in Western music. Since moving to the USA
in 1996, he has collaborated with jazz, funk, rock, hip-hop, R & B, Latin,
and reggae musicians while maintaining his connection to his Malian roots.
Balla's group, Groupe Spirit, has performed regularly in Boston and New
York,
with forays across the border into Canada. They perform a spicy, eclectic
blend of
African, Latin, funk, and blues that can electrify any audience
