African Strings is an album featuring traditional and lesser-known string instruments from five different African countries. All these recordings were carried out at PFCF music programs, with the participation of our local teams, students, teachers, and friends.
Discover the authentic sounds of the guembri (Morocco), kora (Mali), jinjelin and gonje (Ghana), adungu (Northern Uganda and South Sudan), and inanga (Rwanda). The album is available on all major music platforms and on this page—created to celebrate and promote Africa’s rich cultural diversity.
