It’s also the name of Adama Daou’s latest show, an artistic dialogue between the emblematic languages of West Africa, South America and Europe, using the balafon and Mandinka guitar (Aboulayé Koné), Brazil’s pandeiro and the saxophone (Gabriel Schwartz) and the double bass (Olivier Babaz). It is a refreshing and dynamic encounter, where a dialogue renews ancient traditions and opens a new universe of great beauty.

Adama Daou is a musician from Mali, considered one of the greatest specialists of the balafon, the emblematic 12-blade percussion of the whole West Africa. His migration path, which took him to Quebec via France, opened the door to numerous artistic collaborations with tradition-bearers from various musical cultures. Adama Daou is a true ambassador of balafon and Mandinka culture.
