Malian diva Oumou Sangaré is set for a run of upcoming shows in select North American cities in support of her critically acclaimed new album Timbuktu. The dates will take her to both coasts, hitting Vancouver, Berkeley, Princeton and New York City. See below for a list of dates.
Timbuktu is out now to high critical acclaim. The album includes single "Wassulu Don," a joyous expression of hometown pride, which was recently playlisted by BBC 6Music and features a beautiful video directed by Justyna Obasi and filmed in Ghana.
Sangaré has been busy touring throughout the year in support of the album, including a headline show at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall in June as part of Grace Jones' Meltdown Festival, and festivals including Way Out West (Sweden), Blue Dot (U.K.) and Le Guess Who (Netherlands).
Recorded in multiple locations (U.S., Mali and France) and her first new material since 2017's critically acclaimed Mogoya, Timbuktu is a stunning collection of songs-fusing her distinctive Malian sound and voice with elements of blues, folk and rock-resulting in a timeless body of work, free from borders and genres.
