About the Event
As part of our Black History Month-long celebration in February 2023, internationally acclaimed artiste, Mamadou Diabate with Percussion Mania, NAXX BITOTA alongside LEFLOFRANCO will take us on the musical experience of a lifetime
“When Diabate is on stage playing the balafon, something magical happens between him and the audience. With his tight strokes, he makes the audience move. When this Burkinabe virtuoso is on fire and plays as fast as he can—which is really fast—the audience stands up and starts dancing. At the end of the show, everybody is dancing like mad.”

Mamadou Diabate: he brings the sun of West Africa onto our stage! Colorful, as the atmosphere of a marketplace somewhere in West Africa, is the music of Mamadou Diabate and Percussion Mania. Kanuya - the name of the latest CD - means friendship, respect, and appreciation.
