Co-Ex
April 7th, 2018
Motherland Music - Inglewood
Started by Ichiro Suezawa and Esho Funi, Co-Ex explores different cultures and art forms every month to make something never experience before. By introducing cool and not well-known cultures and artists, the event supports collaborations and provides a location to highlight new trends, bring cool entertainment, and host a perfect social occasion.
For their first Co-Ex, we introduced my instrument the KORA (African Harp) from West Africa. Over three weeks we created 4 new pieces of music bringing together Kora, Djembe, Nigerian soul, fusion guitar and Moraccan Gnawa music.
