Kora Meditation began during the COVID-19 pandemic as a virtual space created by Amadou Kouyate, offering live Kora performances to foster connection, reflection, and calm through sound. Now, with renewed energy and purpose, the series is being revived as an in-person experience. Amadou, in collaboration with fellow musician Kelebogile Motsumi, is expanding the concept to include a wider range of African sounds and expressions, aiming to create a deeply therapeutic and immersive sonic journey. 

Amadou Kouyate, a 150th-generation Manding Diali (West African oral historian/musician) and the first born of his father’s lineage in America, is a master of the 21-string Kora, Djembe, and Koutiro drums. His repertoire spans from 13th-century traditional songs to original works blending blues and jazz. Trained in Mali, Senegal, Guinea, and The Gambia under masters like Djimo Kouyate and Toumani Diabate, Amadou has taught at the University of Maryland, Montgomery College, American University, Goucher College, and UMBC, and served as an artist-in-residence at Strathmore and Wolftrap.

Kelebogile Motsumi is a vocalist and indigenous African instrumentalist from South  Africa. She holds a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Pretoria, where she was trained in jazz vocals and piano. Driven by a deep desire to reconnect with the music of her roots, she explored Xhosa traditional music and developed proficiency in indigenous instruments such as the umrhubhe, uhadi, and umngqokolo. Kelebogile's musical practice blends jazz with the sonic textures of Xhosa traditional music.

Are you interested in any of the following: theater, building community, making new friends, board games, tabletop role playing games, improvisation, and/or trying new things? Then you would probably enjoy Live Action Role Play (or LARP)! LARP is an umbrella term for games where you physically embody a character using a huge variety of rules, props, locations, and participants. LARPs can go from as few as 2 to as many as 100s of people, and explore stories ranging from the silly and fluffy to the dark and tragic, but for now we'll be exploring some entry-level LARPs that are great for new players.

On Saturday, December 6 from 1-2:30, we'll be playing Gods of Nothings by Shing Yin Khor, a game about insignificant gods trying to solve minor problems for mortal supplicants. In this game, 4-8 players will become an assembly of small and insignificant gods doing their best to help people. You'll come up with their domain (like worker ants, exhalations, or sea urchins, for instance) and try to figure out how to use your powers to address problems completely unrelated to them. There is also a crafting component to this LARP, as you'll make and alter a mask to hide your god's identity over the course of the game.

In support of her newest album Last Night I Heard the Dog Star Bark, Gwenifer Raymond returns to Rhizome during her winter tour of the States. The album is Raymond’s first since 2020’s Strange Lights Over Garth Mountain, which drew widespread acclaim for its repurposing of Mississippi blues and John Fahey’s intricate Americana to embody Raymond’s roots in rural South Wales and her interests in folk horror and the avant garde, a new form dubbed Welsh Primitive. Now, on her forthcoming album, Raymond finds herself conjuring the work of pioneering rocket scientists, the words of fictional hobo prophets and the concepts of mathematical infinity. 

Christo Graham began writing his first songs when he was just 13. His effective minimalism is evident in his 2020 album 'Turnin'', whose 12 songs were inspired by a four-track recorder belonging to his grandmother and containing two songs recorded by herself at some point. His latest album “Music For Horses”, released by We Are Busy Bodies in October 2024 was also created on a similarly mystical recorder. Recorded in a 115-year-old classroom, with reduced percussion and restrained guitar, these new songs by Christo Graham emanate an almost meditative contemplation.

Insect Factory is the music of Jeff Barsky (and collaborators) and is a meditative project focused on deconstructing the possibilities of guitar to create detailed, hypnotic compositions. “…densely layered loops, planes of static standing tall like a gigantic back-scratcher of audio, improvised melodies clamoring over drones like they’re peaks in a mountain range…monolithic, moving, fluid and entirely lovely.” – Tiny Mix Tapes
