Treat yourself to the pulsating rhythms and traditional melodies of Message from

Guinea. Message from Guinea employs many percussive instruments, including

the increasingly popular djembe from the Mande region, and the krin, or “African

telephone” from Guinea’s forest region. These instruments have historically served

the role of calling people together for important occasions- births, deaths, planting

and harvesting of crops, the arrival of kings, the initiation of battle and the launch

of the hunt. With virtuosity and charisma, Message From Guinea fuses sacred

tradition with modern sensibility.  They call their audience to join in the essence of

Guinea’s cultural legacy.
