Subway Series: Salieu Suso and Jaliya Kafo Ensemble Play Live in Studio 5

In honor of the FIFA World Cup, we're embracing the MTA's "Worldbeat" theme. West African griot, historian, and Jaliya Kafo Ensemble bandleader Salieu Suso joins us for a live performance and a conversation about the tradition of griot music, his work with the ensemble, and what he enjoys most about performing for commuters. The group will play live at Parkchester station in the Bronx for an MTA Music Under New York performance this Wednesday from noon to 3 p.m. Photo by Kris Connor/Getty Images for Make Music Winter: Salieu Suso with fellow members of Broken Chains perform during the "West African Fte" event as part of "Make Music Winter, December 21" on December 21, 2017 in New York City.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
