Njacko Backo creates joyful and groovy “world music” infused with the spirit of peace, love and social harmony. A master of the kalimba (African thumb piano) of his native Cameroon, Njacko draws on his rich rhythmic roots from Central/West Africa and creates his own unique sound featuring kalimba and ngoni (African harp) in configurations you won’t hear anywhere else. Njacko captivates audiences of all ages and walks of life with his skilled musicianship, soulful songs, engaging stage presence, and joie de vivre! This award-winning musician will be joined by Valery Woloshyn on kalimba and djembe.
