Kouyaté has built a special instrument so that the scales of the two instruments are no longer in dissonance, allowing the two virtuosos to compose and perform together in tandem. The high-energy and innovative musicianship of the two artists creates an uplighting and energetic audience experience. They are both highly skilled leaders of workshops for all ages, including at the University and Higher-Education level. The performances can be for as small as duo, or as large as a full band of 8-10 people, depending on budget and logistics.https://youtu.be/cM_QNQhc_FU - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/claremont/the-power-of-balafon-balla-kouyaté-and-mamadou-diabaté/100001968245326756 - **Event Categories**: workshops, music, entertainment, art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Claremont - **state**: NH - **country**: United States - **location**: Claremont Creative Center - **lat**: 43.3726093 - **long**: -72.33733350000001 - **full address**: Claremont Creative Center, 56 Opera House Square, Claremont, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Power of Balafon: Balla Kouyaté and Mamadou Diabaté - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/18b2d0ca625467f9fdf3a4d5e54bbbaf41f5a96c86a1c6680e5e4b7e823514c4-rimg-w1200-h1030-dc02191b-gmir.jpg?v=1762922719 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Power of Balafon: Balla Kouyaté and Mamadou Diabaté being held? - **A:** The Power of Balafon: Balla Kouyaté and Mamadou Diabaté takes place on Thu, 04 Dec, 2025 at 06:30 pm to Thu, 04 Dec, 2025 at 08:00 pm at Claremont Creative Center, 56 Opera House Square, Claremont, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Power of Balafon: Balla Kouyaté and Mamadou Diabaté? - **A:** The Power of Balafon: Balla Kouyaté and Mamadou Diabaté is organized by West Claremont Center for Music and the Arts. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
