Guest Artist

Crocodile River Music was established in 2011 by Zach Combs and Issa Coulibaly to support African artists in presenting music, dance, and art that both educates and connects audiences of all ages, backgrounds, and capabilities.

In 2012, we launched the African Arts in Education program, allowing us to extend our reach to schools and community groups. This program has served over 200,000 students in its first ten years, leaving a lasting impact through interactive workshops, compelling performances, and engaging school residencies.

Today as a Worcester-based nonprofit organization, our offerings – including concerts, workshops, lectures, and other educational programs – showcase emerging and established African artists to inform, connect, and inspire audiences.
