One night. Three extraordinary African voices. One unforgettable celebration.
Celebrate the joyous music of Africa in this special event exploding with talent from some of the continent's greatest artists as they move your heart, body, and soul with joyous rhythms and tunes that will fill your heart and get your feet tapping along to their feel-good vibes.
Leading the charge are the electrifying Les Amazones d’Afrique. This powerhouse collective of West African artists fuses ancient roots with future-facing sounds, bringing a message of strength, unity, and change. From Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage to President Obama’s playlist, their voices are being heard worldwide.
Joining them is the phenomenal Gasper Nali, a not-so-traditional babatoni player from Lake Malawi. With his three-metre-long, one-stringed homemade bass guitar, he has gained over 20 million views online with his original and danceable Afro Beats. His online fame has led to performances with Joss Stone and Iggy Pop, as well as featuring in CNN's documentary Deep Roots Malawi.
And opening the night is young master musician N’famady Kouyaté, sensational balafon player already making a name for himself as a new voice pushing boundaries and connecting cultures. His music is a blend of his West African heritage and Western musical influences, and his first EP included collaborations with Gruff Rhys from Super Furry Animals and The Flaming Lips' Kliph Scurlock
Let the waves of soulful music and infectious beats reinvigorate you as you discover exciting and unfamiliar sounds, new artists, and a connection of different cultures.
