Guewel / Senegal
December 22, 2024
In Jan-Feb of 2024, I travelled to Senegal to collaborate with Lamine Sonko on his interdisciplinary theatre work Guéwel. After several weeks of development — many days of which were interrupted due to civil unrest — we premiered the work-in-progress at the Daniel Sorana National Theatre of Senegal. 

Here’s a track by  called Taamo (2023), which features in the Guéwel, albeit in an altered form. Credits: Lamine Sonko (kora, voice, composition), Xani Colac (violin) Anita Quayle (cello), Joseph Franklin (double bass):
