This special concert honours his mentor with a powerful selection of beloved classics and lesser-known gems, reimagined in Samba’s own distinctive style. This is a heartfelt celebration of an enduring musical legacy – keeping Ali Farka Touré’s songs alive through the joy, power and connection of live performance.
