Sufi Roots & Rhythms is a musical adventure at Boxyard RTP, 900 Park Offices Drive, Durham, North Carolina. From groove-based Sufi and Hindustani to Sengalese Kora, you’ll discover new sounds by artists living right here in North Carolina. This is a FREE concert series that takes place a few times throughout the eyar. On August 28, 2026, from 6 to 8 p.m., enjoy The Diali Cissokho Trio. The Diali Cissokho Trio brings together three internationally acclaimed musicians whose work blends deep cultural roots with emotional resonance. United by their devotion to the transformative power of music, each member of the trio brings a unique perspective, celebrating and crossing cultural boundaries with their mastery of West African rhythms and instruments. Diali Cissokho, a virtuoso kora player and percussionist from Senegal, hails from a long line of Manding griots, whose role as historians and storytellers has been passed down through generations. Will Ridenour, a kora player and percussionist from Greensboro, NC was drawn to West African music after a life-changing encounter with traditional dance. Atiba Rorie, a skilled percussionist and founder of the multi-genre band Africa Unplugged, has studied with masters such as Bradley, Simmons, Babatunde Olatunji, and Chief Bey. Together, the Diali Cissokho Trio creates a powerful collective force, merging their individual expertise to uplift and inspire.
