Mandé Sila feat. Habib Koité, Aly Keïta, Lamine Cissokho, Mama Koné

In the organizer's words:

Singer, exceptional guitarist and songwriter Habib Koité, one of West Africa's best-known musicians, has teamed up with three experts in their field for the Mandé Sila program: balafon player Aly Keïta, kora virtuoso Lamine Cissokho and percussionist Mama Koné.

Mandé Sila - West African music traditions come together in the acoustic program of this all-star quartet, creating soulful songs and an evening full of varied energy. A collaboration of artists who share the same cultural heritage, a melting pot that inspires their compositions and sublimates the renewal of the genre.

Aly Keïta, born in Abidjan, has gained worldwide recognition for his mastery of the balafon, his impressive virtuosity and his unique sound. Lamine Cissokho from Senegal masterfully combines Mandinka traditions with other genres and has collaborated with a number of musicians such as Ballake Sissoko and Eric Bibb. Percussionist and drummer Mama Koné from Mali (djembe, calabash) has been working with Habib Koité in his band Bamada for a long time.
