Workshops

Hello there,

Just a quick note to mention that Jali will be rolling out kora workshops in Leeds later on in the summer.  At the moment he is concentrating on private tuition (currently available for £45 per hour) but would like to extend the learning out into groups of like minded individuals.

Workshops are an excellent way to meet people with similar interests and share ideas.  They are also a great way of getting a feel for the music and learning some classic kora melodies.  See site for more information and price details - koraking.com and go to workshops.

As well as kora workshops based in Leeds Jali is also tours UK schools teaching not only West African instruments including Djembe's and kora's but also informing about West African culture.

If you are interested in finding out more then please don't hesitate to get in touch jali@koraking.com.

All the best!
