Pop Ups at the Trolley Portal Garden: Youbakora

This Summer, enjoy live art and music with the return of Pop Ups at the Portal!

Youba Cissohko, aka YoubaKora, is a 72nd-generation master kora player from Senegal. The kora, a traditional West African string instrument, is known for its beautiful melodies and rich history.

With decades of experience, Youba Kora brings a unique musical tradition to life. We are honored to have him join us at the Portal for a special performance!
