About Lucia Comnes Lucia Comnes is a singer and violinist who interprets songs from many traditions, an aspiring songwriter, and an artistic director who has co-produced 3 albums and a myriad of musical collaborations in the Bay Area and internationally. A San Francisco native with a rich background in performance, travel and ethnomusicology, she started out her career as a vocalist with Kitka, the Oakland-based women's acappella vocal ensemble specializing in Balkan/Eastern European folk music.
About Karamo Susso Karamo Susso is an international kora star. Growing up in a griot compound in Mali, he started playing kora as a tiny child, and was performing for large crowds before he was even big enough to hold the instrument up by himself. Fully immersed in the tradition, he learned from world-renowned players like his uncle Ballake Sissoko and Toumani Diabate. He studied and taught kora at the Institute Nationale des Arts in Bamako, Mali.
