Baba the Storyteller: Community Event

  • Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship 1207 Ellsworth Street Bellingham, WA, 98225 United States (map)

Baba returns for his third visit to Bellingham!

Baba the Storyteller is one of the few recognized U.S. born practitioners of the ancient West African storytelling craft known as Jaliyaa, a living archive of tribal history and heritage shared only through memory and spoken word (and song). He is always accompanied by his Kora, a 21-string instrument which he uses to weave beautiful music into his narrative.

Baba has received numerous awards over the years for his work as a folklorist, traditional harpist, storyteller, community activist and volunteer, and recently developed a new Lion King musical for Disney Cruises.

Experience his masterful, humorous, and heartwarming tales on October 15th from 6-7pm at Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship. Doors open at 5:45 and admission is by donation.

We hope to see you there!
