Canadian old-time banjo ace Jayme Stone explores his instrument's West African past with Malian kora master Mansa Sissoko on the delicious new world fusion CD "Africa to Appalachia." The music of Mali dominates, but there are detours into Senegal (on "Dakar," which recalls the jazzy workouts of Tony Rice, Mike Marshall and Bela Fleck) and the American South (the old mountain chestnut "June Apple"). Stone and Sissoko have joined forces for a tour that should be both entrancing and educational, a polyrhythmic tale of two continents. With Spaghetti Western String Company. (7:30 p.m. Thu., Cedar Cultural Center. $15-$18.) 09/11/08 >> go there
