Membership

The Cradle of Jazz Project is now building its membership!  Why? Our tours are meant only to bring support to our long range mission of sustained inter-cultural music education for youth. This mission becomes a reality in the Summer of 2016 when Lamine Soumano’s two youngest children, with Kokanko Sata Doumbia’s youngest son, join a small group of home schooled children in  South Carolina for a semester of musical and lingual exchange.

But one summer of exchange is not enough! To provide a lasting educational impact to our West African and Western students alike, we are endeavoring to bring these students one semester per year of inter-cultural exchange and bi-musical education. This project runs at a minimum of $17,000 per year…. Your support is crucial.
