MAMADOU DIABATE & PERCUSSION MANIA

“Magical…on fire” — Afropop Worldwide

Just added to the April lineup, the internationally acclaimed balafon virtuoso Mamadou Diabate hails from the Sambla people of Burkina Faso where music and language are one and the same. A griot by birth and bandleader by trade, Diabate’s Percussion Mania mixes traditional West African storytelling rhythms and Western rock for a truly explosive stage show and a night to remember. Get pumped—have a listen to the crew jamming out here or here.
