Bela Fleck and the Africa Project

Bela Fleck brought the banjo back to Africa to discover its roots. His subsequent collaborations with African musicians were captured in the acclaimed film Throw Down Your Heart and inspired his landmark tour, which features kora master Toumani Diabate, along with Anania Ngoliaga and John Kitime, Vusi Mahanasela, D'Gary and Mario. This EMPAC signature event is presented by Student Life, in partnership with the Office of the Provost.
