A Gathering With...
Offering You...
In today's society when some parents no longer have the time to tell children their stories or sing lullabies to their babies, and when storytelling is overshadowed by the "electronic media." Do not fear, for the Storyteller, an artist in the truest form, stands as a reminder of humanities true heritage.
KALA JOJO is one such STORYTELLER...a national favorite and a Philadelphia treasure!
A Jeli (storyteller), vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist, whose repertoire evokes African, African American, and Caribbean oral traditions. KALA JOJO has been featured at various local and national storytelling showcases and festivals.
