Kane Mathis on Kora, Oud, Experimental Electronics
Performing on the 21-string Mandinka Harp, Turkish Oud, and a blend of electronic soundscapes, Kane renders compelling interpretations of modern and tradition. Years of study with generous masters have given Kane a rare opportunity to share these traditions with other cultures. Over the past ten years his performances have earned him recognition by the Gambian president, The Gambian minister of culture, and both national television and radio of The Gambia. Join us tonight for this extra special treat. In union with your breath and movements, the music will guide each one of us to tap into our unlimited and extraordinary potential.
How do we get through the dark cloud or the tough patch? How can we grow and even flourish in the face of grief, loss, confusion or a painful transition? We're human, and such experiences are inevitable along the way. To avoid them is to deny the full range of being alive……Life is a dance between friction and freedom. One informs the other and polishes our spirit to be more real and true. When we choose life, we also choose growth.
