Legendary Malian musician and ngoni master Bassekou Kouyate tours the UK for the first time as a duo with his wife, the revered griot singer and exceptional vocalist Amy Sacko, following the release of Djudjon, L’Oiseau de Garana (2024), their first chart-topping album together. Connecting past and present, this will be a unique, intimate and extraordinary opportunity to experience a performance that reaches to the very heart of Mali – deeply personal, expressive, chamber-style, a space where each note and lyric resonates deeply.

It was quite an evening, or should I say late afternoon. First up was the timeless blues of the Taj Mahal Trio, whose been entertaining us for more than fifty years. Next we were treated to Bassekou Kouyate's own trio featuring his ngoni playing. However The real magic began when the two trios combined and gave a magical rendition. It was hard to tell sometimes which song was the founder trio's song as they melded together seamlessly. Much more fun than watching football....
