Headed by Diali Cissokho, who comes from a long line of prominent griots, the band integrates the traditional sounds of the kora with guitars, keyboard and an exuberant rhythm section. Kaira Ba will be joined by violinist Jennifer Curtis, described as a “multi-genre maverick” by the San Diego Union Tribune.
