SUMMARY:Gig at the Greenhouses | Jali Bakary Konteh
DESCRIPTION:BPCG is delighted to welcome world-renowned kora player Jali Bakary Konteh to our Spring Sessions. The latest torchbearer for his family’s kora legacy on the world stage\, like his father and grandfather before him\, Jali Bakary brings his own personal touch and innovations to traditional songs with unique melodic and rhythmic arrangements. \nJali Bakary is the grandson and son\, respectively\, of the legendary Gambian kora players Alhaji Bai Konte (who helped to bring kora music to the wider world with his iconic album Kora Melodies From the Republic of the Gambia\, West Africa in 1973) and Dembo Konte. As Banning Eyre has put it\, “it is difficult to overstate the regal\, nearly divine\, stature” of the Konte family in the echelons of West African music. \nBorn into this remarkable musical lineage and steeped in Gambia’s griot tradition\, Jali Bakary is the latest torchbearer for his family’s kora legacy on the world stage. He has performed extensively throughout West and North Africa\, as well as in the UK\, the rest of Europe (WOMAD\, Roskilde Festival\, Kings Place\, Barbican\, Southbank Centre)\, Middle East and USA. \nAlthough the kora tradition has changed a lot over the last half a century\, it always moves forward. Like his father and grandfather before him\, Jali Bakary brings his own personal touch and innovations to traditional songs with unique melodic and rhythmic arrangements. \nA hugely versatile musician\, he regularly performs solo\, as well as with his own band\, Minyanta\, and Balimaya Project – a new 16 piece collective who fuse West-African folkloric music and jazz. Jali Bakary released his debut album\, Konteh Kunda\, in 2010 and his self-released album Jali Bakary Konteh available on many platforms in 2023. He currently lives in London. \n‘An exceptional purveyor of the Gambian tradition’ Afropop Worldwide\n‘it is difficult to overstate the regal\, nearly divine\, stature’ of the Konteh family in the echelons of West African music’ Banning Eyre\nINFORMATION \nTicket Price: \n£15 standard price\n£12 concessions\nKids under 6 go free \nFood:\n£8 per person for a hot vegetarian meal \nTimings: \n6.00pm – Gates open\n6.30pm – Music starts\n7.15pm – Break\n7.45pm – Music\n8.30pm – Finish \nIf viewing on a phone\, scroll to the bottom of the page to book \nTo save paper\, do not print your ticket.
