You need to hear and feel the sound of Warodjah. An online magazine offers many digital benefits, but unfortunately we cannot yet make you feel the vibes you get at his live performance. But we can let you hear it: turn up your speakers, click the record and enjoy the sparkling and funky sounds of Warodjah. You won’t get them out of your head anytime soon.
Warodjah wants to pay homage to the rich heritage of African music and the tradition of African Griots, the West African storytellers and healers. Special guest Zouratié Koné, hailing from a Griot family of the Bwa tribe living between Mali and Burkina Faso, takes us on a sonic journey with his masterful handling of his self-crafted Kora.
