West African Summit promises a musical experience that goes beyond a concert, beyond a show, to bring audiences to the heart of the beauty, power and sheer energy of West African music.<\/span><\/p>\n

This ground-breaking production brings to the stage the wonder of West Africa\u2019s Bafing River. Like the river, the music flows through the sounds and spirit of Senegal, Mali and Guinea, full with the magic of this storied region and its rich cultures.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSince coming to Canada, I have dreamed about bringing together both the dance and music of Guinea to the stage. N\u2019nato and I have performed together for many years but we have never really built a big show… something with energy and colour and movement… something that explodes on the stage.
\nI performed with Prince Diabat\u00e9 at the Vancouver Jazz Festival and Hollywood Bowl in 2000. We\u2019ve wanted to work together ever since and now is the time. And Naby, he is simply one of the best balafon players anywhere.\u201d \u2013 Alpha<\/span><\/p>\n
