Boubacar
Diabate & Samba Lolo LIVE
SambaLolo's
update:
SambaLolo is taking a trip to Bamako in April
and May. We’ll be hard at work producing
a couple of shows there and re-connecting with
our friends and local musicians. We’ll
be back in Boston in June to kick in the heat.
SambaLolo, featuring Boubacar Diabate, West
African Griot from Mali, combines traditional
rhythms with modern influences to form a unique
style of contemporary Malian Griot music. Singing
in Bambara, Diabate tells stories of common
shared human experiences such as of love, life
and humanity. Through the age-old West African
tradition of Griot storytelling, Diabate brings
the audience on a musical journey that is embellished
with accents of Jazz, Blues and Reggae. For
more information about Boubacar Diabate and
SambaLolo visit
