Sidi Samb

September 26 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Part of the Gila River Festival.

Location: The Gardens at Light Hall

Sidi Samb is an acclaimed Senegalese musician who has made his home in Spain for decades and is a founding member of celebrated flamenco-fusion hitmakers Mártires del Compás. His latest solo project, Afroflamenco reconnects Flamenco to its African roots, exploring the subtle connections and unique divergences between the iconic sounds of his two homelands. Afroflamenco draws on griot tradition and Roma virtuosity, to create a new, music-fueled, cross-cultural encounter. With lyrics sung in Wolof, Lingala, Bambara, Pulaar, French, English, and Spanish, it’s a simmering polyglot of languages, rhythms and ideas; brimming over with passionate performances at the intersection of African and Iberian traditions.
