Guitar/Kora w Abdoulaye Conde

  • Judson & Moore 3057 North Rockwell Street Chicago, IL, 60618 United States (map)

A night of acoustic solo and duet performances. Nathaniel Braddock performs modern fingerstyle guitar music as well as a large repertoire of African acoustic styles learned on his travels through West and Central Africa. Braddock leads groups Occidental Brothers Dance Band Int'l, Trio Mokili, and the Accra Quartet, and has just released a record of palmwine music recorded with musicians in Accra, Ghana. Abdoulaye Conde is a kora player taught in the griot tradition of his home city Conakry, Guinea. He is also a visual artist and muralist working in his signature style of "Gnabassan," which reflects his Malinke heritage and experiences across cultures. His original paintings and murals can be found throughout Conakry and other cities.
