Musée Mécanique to Play New Un-Released Record Live at the Art Center June 21 Some time ago, while touring the Maritime Northeast of the United States, in a quiet, centuries-old, lichen-covered cemetery in Cape Cod, the members of Musée Mécanique discovered a phrase etched carefully into the final resting place of some unknown soul—a phrase that would indelibly leave its mark on the band and spark the beginnings of what would become something greater than they could have ever expected: “A ship at port is safe, but that’s not what ships are built for.” -Grace Hopper After years of...

Gaskell features traditional songs of the Mandinka people from Gambia, Senegal, Mali, Guinea, and Guinea Bissau. Kora music is traditionally played by Griots (Greeohs, oral/musical historians).
