NW Folklife Presents: SuperFolk, Global Strings. Join us for an evening celebrating the rich sounds that emanate from around the world. Opening the evening are hometown heroes, Trio Guadalevin, followed by rising Canadian kora player, Sophie Lukacs.

A unique collaboration between a folklorist from Mexico City, a lute/oud/guitarist specializing in the early music of Europe and a globe-traveling percussionist and arts educator, Trío Guadalevín explores the musical dialogue between Indigenous, European and African cultures which define Latin American identity.

Sophie Lukacs, a Budapest-born, Montreal-based artist of Jewish Hungarian descent, began her musical journey with the violin and Western classical music. Inspired by her grandmother, Holocaust survivor Eva Fahidi, Sophie’s passion for music led her to study International Development and Music at McGill University. Her path took a transformative turn in Burkina Faso, where she discovered the kora, a traditional West African instrument.

Despite the kora being traditionally reserved for men of the griot caste, Sophie pursued her passion. After a fateful encounter with kora master Malang Jobarteh in New York, she immersed herself in kora studies, eventually learning from legends like Toumani Diabaté in Paris and Bamako.
