the sankofa trilogy features three extraordinary stories of three powerful women—mugdu sankofa, her daughter sekesu and her granddaughter benu—and their resolute belief in blood and truth. At the heart of this trilogy—and much of d’bi.young’s work—are the spirit of sankofa (“return and get it”), and the mythical sankofa bird of the Ashanti, with its head turned backwards, holding an egg (the future) in its beak.

Batuki Music Society presents Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba
The Great Hall 1087 Queen Street West Toronto ON
Batuki Music Society presents Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba with opening act Daniel Nebiat on Sunday November 27th, 2011 at The Great Hall at 9:00 pm.
Malian maestro Bassekou Kouyate is a virtuoso picker and musical visionary whose work blurs the lines between West African and American roots music. Bassekou’s instrument, the ngoni, is a ‘spike lute’ and an ancestor of the banjo, sharing its taut-skinned drum body, percussive attack, and varied picking techniques. Since 2005, Bassekou has led Ngoni Ba, the first-ever group built around four ngonis – all played by members of his family.
The opening act is Eritrean-Canadian Daniel Nebiat who sings and plays the krar, a traditional stringed instrument similar to the harp, tuned to a pentatonic scale and in Daniel’s case, amplified. His music combines both traditional and modern forms of Eritrean music. www.myspace.com/danielnebiat
