about

This is traditionally a song for the kora, the 21-stringed harp of West Africa, which I first heard through the Guinean band Ba Sissoko. A "djeli" is a musician and storyteller in West African cultures - an important keeper of history and traditions. The djeli families are revered musicians and some of the deepest, most accomplished players I have yet met. Ba Sissoko are djelis.

Walter Strauss Occidental, California

This Californian guitar maestro’s songs are full of the groove and fire of an African dance party, the dynamics & textures of a string orchestra, and the back-porch soul of American roots music.

Walter performs globally, solo and in crosscultural collaborations, at venues as diverse as the Celtic Connections festival in Scotland, Freight & Salvage in Berkeley, CA, and Le Diplomat in Bamako, Mali.
