Rokia Koné and Boubacar Samaké
Expect an evening of pure, unadulterated soul delivered by one of West Africa's most compelling voices: the renowned Malian singer, Rokia Koné.
Affectionately nicknamed 'The Rose of Bamako,' Koné is a force of nature. Her captivating sound soars above infectious Mande guitar grooves and traditional percussion, carrying an emotional weight that runs the gamut from joy and love to fury and resilience. Having gained global acclaim for her work with the feminist supergroup Les Amazones d'Afrique, she now brings her stunning solo material-a brilliant fusion of her rich griot heritage with a modern, dynamic edge-to Glasgow.
This is more than a concert; it's a deep, warming dive into the heart of Malian tradition and modern innovation. For world music lovers, or anyone searching for an unforgettable experience to banish the January chill, this intimate night is an unmissable moment of pure connection.
