Kora workshop with Fili on Saturday 9 January 2027

The kora is much more than a musical instrument: it is the living voice of the griots, the guardians of the memory and history of the Mandé peoples of West Africa.
Join Fili, a musician from Burkina Faso, for an afternoon exploring the enchanting world of this 21-string harp.
During this workshop, you will discover the kora in all its richness: its history, traditional craftsmanship and the first techniques for bringing its strings to life.
You will learn how to position your hands, distinguish between the two musical registers played simultaneously, one with the left hand and the other with the right, and begin playing your first melodies in an atmosphere of curiosity, concentration and enjoyment.
No previous musical experience is required.
This workshop is open to everyone, from complete beginners to the simply curious, and is an invitation to experience an authentic encounter with Mandé music and culture.
Launch offer: Enjoy €10 off the workshop price when booking by 9 December 2026.
Places are limited, so don't wait too long.
