Samba Touré, the keeper of African blues, and his band bring their soulful sound to Canada for the first time. A master musician, Touré preserves the rich legacy of West African blues through original compositions and interpretations of centuries-old songs. Joining him on stage are Soulemane Kane on the calabash and Djieme Sissoko on the talking drum (Tama), electric ngoni, and more. Together, they offer an unforgettable evening of Songhoy and traditional Malian music — deeply moving and irresistibly rhythmic.
