Join us at the Yampa River Botanic Park’s children’s area for our very special storyteller, Fara Tolno! Great for kids ages 0-7, with their parents or caregivers. This is an outdoor program, so please plan for sun, bugs, and noise. May be moved due to inclement weather.
Fara Tolno was born in Guinea, West Africa. He spent his youth in the village of Kissidugu and Guinea’s capital city, Conakry. Playing djembe since the age of nine, he has traveled extensively performing and teaching both drumming and dance. Currently based in Boulder, Colorado, Fara has completed his MFA at the University of Colorado. Fara is the founder, director, and choreographer for Kissidugu, his percussion and dance ensembles across the country and in Guinea. He trains and performs with a variety of students; combining traditional performance styles and pieces from Guinea with his own insights and knowledge of rhythms and movement. Fara’s performance style has been described as mystical as he dazzles audiences around the world. Fara has a magical way of teaching everything from the basics to the beautiful intricacies of West African percussion to Western players of all levels and ages.
