Instructor - Seguenon Kone
The balafon (bala, balaphone) is a resonated frame, wooden keyed
percussion idiophone of West Africa. A beautiful and melodic form of
rhythm, participants will have the opportunity to learn traditional
Balafon techniques, songs, and rhythms.
Seguenon is originally from Ivory Coast, but we are lucky to have him
as one of OurLando's local greats. Be sure to check out his latest CD, available for preview and purchase at the school's store, Evolve.
Please bring your own Balafon if you have one. If it is out of tune
Seguenon can surely fix this for your. For those who do not have a
Balafon (similar to a Marimba or xylophone) need not worry. Seguenon
and Three Masks African Shop will provide the traditional instruments.
