Meet Lamine Cissokho, a celebrated master of the kora and a hereditary griot whose storytelling through melody spans continents. Originating from Casamance in Senegal, Lamine carries a rich lineage of oral history and musical virtuosity. Since relocating to Sweden in 2001, he has become a respected figure on European world-jazz circuits and increasingly in the United States. His music blends traditional West African griot storytelling with contemporary world-jazz textures, inviting audiences into a vivid sonic voyage.
