Habib Koité & Bamada and Dobet Gnahoré
Double Bill - Two Full Sets
Two stars of 2006’s acclaimed Acoustic Africa tour return for their only double-bill this year.
Koité and his band draw on styles from several regions of Mali, integrating the rock and folk sounds of the Western world, without watering down his cherished roots. His charisma and magnetism translates across cultures.
"His reputation as a guitar player has become almost mythical" -The New York Times
Gnahoré, a remarkable singer from Côte d’Ivoire returns with a group of instrumentalists offering new sounds, ancient traditions, and remarkable music. From Mandingue melodies to Congolese rumba, Ivory Coast ziglibiti to Cameroon bikoutsi, Gnahoré’s pan-African palette blends colorful compositions, jazz-inflected vocals, and unparalleled charisma.
