DESCRIPTION:
Talisman is a group of singers dedicated to the sharing of stories through music. With a strong foundation in anti-apartheid music from South Africa and the African diaspora, the group was created to explore and perform substantive, cultural music. This has become their mantra as they strive to give voice to the vast collection of human stories told all around the world through rich and vibrant song. The group appreciates the great challenge in musically expressing the genuine roots of the songs they sing, and they are committed to bringing these songs to life.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
