Who is Channo?

Originally from Mali, Channo is a trained journalist who began his career in his home country, using storytelling as a tool for truth, visibility, and social impact. Holding a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism and a Master’s degree in Business Law, Channo has always combined creativity with structure and passion with strategy.

As a proud advocate for minority peoples, his journey has been one of resilience, courage, and authenticity. His lived experience deeply influences his work: intentional, bold, and creative.

Kora Bar by Channo was born from that same spirit. More than a bartending service, Kora is a cultural expression, blending West African heritage, storytelling, and refined mixology to create meaningful experiences.

Kora Bar brings a refined expression of bold, bright, and traditional flavors to your most memorable events. Contact us today!
