About the show
From Mali, legendary musician and ngoni master Bassekou Kouyate tours with his wife, the revered griot singer and exceptional vocalist Amy Sacko, following the release of Djudjon, L’Oiseau de Garana, their first chart-topping album together.
Connecting past and present, this will be a unique, intimate and extraordinary performance that reaches to the very heart of Mali – deeply personal, expressive, chamber-style that promises a rare closeness between artists and audience, a space where each note and lyric resonates deeply.
