Groove to the rhythms of Oumou Sangaré and Sidy Maiga
Premieres next Thursday, 9/17 at 8 PM on Facebook and YouTube Live
Experience the soul-lifting sounds of Mali with Grammy winner Oumou Sangaré and master drummer Sidy Maiga. An outspoken activist for women’s rights, the “songbird of Wassoulou,” Oumou Sangaré raises her voice to build awareness for women’s issues in Africa and to inspire audiences worldwide to be stronger, together.
Teaming up with acclaimed djembefola Sidy Maiga and backed by a superb five-piece band, the two Malian masters introduce us to the passions behind their long-time collaboration, breaking boundaries and borders as they bring their music and message to the world.
Produced by FirstWorks in partnership with Brown Arts Initiative.
