Samba Touré – Feb 23, 2025

The Aga Khan Museum in association with Batuki Music Society present Samba Touré on Feb 23, 2025 at 7pm.

Experience the soul-stirring rhythms of Samba Touré as he brings the heart of West African blues to life in his debut Canadian performance.

Samba Touré, the keeper of African blues, and his band bring his soulful sound to Canada for the first time. A master musician, Touré preserves the rich legacy of West African blues through original compositions and interpretations of centuries-old songs. Joining him on stage are Soulemane Kane on the calabash and Djieme Sissoko on the talking drum (Tama), electric ngoni, and more. Together, they offer an unforgettable evening of Songhoy and traditional Malian music — deeply moving and irresistibly rhythmic.
