STEFAN CHARISIUS is one of roughly eight "white" Kora-Musicians
in Europe. The Kora is a Harp-like, ancient instrument with 21 strings,
created in West-Afrika for the singing storytellers (Griots) to
accompany their lyrics.
Grown up in a family of musicians STEFAN developed many ways to forge
his specific style of warm-melancholic yet profoundly rocking Kora music.
STEFAN plays and improvises not only solo on stage but enjoys associating
with a diversity of musicians and cultures. Because of the exciting and
turbulent emotional amplitude in these concerts, STEFAN labelled the
projects AFREAX (African-freak-spontaneus-music). Everything can happen
on stage and everybody may possibly take part in the source and join the
music-river as deep and headless as he/she likes to.
Since 1999, various formations have played more than 400 times all
over Europe.
