Bio
Sona Jobarteh is a musician, lecturer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist from Gambia. She comes from a prestigious Griot family and is the first female Kora virtuoso from such a family. She is considered as a modern-day pioneer for breaking away from the tradition of passing on the hereditary tradition exclusively from father to son for the past seven centuries. She is known for addressing cultural identity, gender, love, and respect while still remaining rooted in her traditional cultural heritage.
