February is Black History Month. We invite you to join us in celebrating the important role of Black Americans in our history. Because our community in the YK Delta has a rich history of celebrating culture with dance, the arts, and storytelling, we will be exploring Black artists and authors this month. Please see our Facebook page for regular posts to videos and resources.
We start our celebration with the amazing story of musician
Balla Kouyate. Learn more about his instrument, the Balafon, which has been passed down in his family for 800 years, and the important role musicians play in his native country.
