Movie screening of Road to Baleya, filmed and produced by Canadian Bay Weyman. The film features Mansa Sissoko of Mali, West Africa and Canadian Musicians Dave Clark, Lewis Melville, and Tannis Slimmon. Meet Mansa on Thursday, May 28th when he and our other world musicians perform at the Museum. Five World musicians will participate in our week of music in schools.
These events are made possible through a grant awarded to by the Department of Immigration to the Coalition of New Canadians for Arts and Culture in partnership with Stellula Music.
"It is an emotional personal journey for Sissoko, who is returning to his home village for the first time since leaving as a small boy. The griot’s return triggers three days of musical ritual, dancing, ceremony and celebration, steeped in local Islamic and animist traditions."
