Ghanaian master musician SK Kakraba
Sunday, March 26, at 4:00pm
at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Long Beach. | 5450 E Atherton St., Long Beach, CA 90815

SK Kakraba is a virtuoso player of the gyil — the national instrument of Northern Ghana. The gyil is a xylophone containing 14 suspended wooden slats stretched over calabash gourds containing resonators. Born into a family of gyil players, in an area of Ghana that is known for its many great musicians, SK developed his mastery of the instrument, as well as his knowledge of its rich musical repertoire. Since 2000, SK has performed at concerts and festivals across Africa, Europe and North America. In 2012, SK moved to Los Angeles, and began to connect with local musicians to create new blends of traditional and modern music.

The LA Weekly profiled SK as “The man who might be the world’s greatest xylophone player…” and described his music “…as hypnotic and otherworldly as you might expect — unfamiliar music, to Western ears, at its very best.”
Suggested donation: $20 general, $10 students, kids 12 and under free. Questions? Email: musicandarts@uuclb.org
