FULL SCHEDULE

SOUTHERN AIR TEMPLE (top floor)

7:30pm Mamadou Sidibe (Malian)
Master kamale ngoni player, Mamadou Sidibe is from the Wassoulou Region of Mali, West Africa. 30 years ago Mamadou played a groundbreaking role in transforming the music of this region from it's origins in hunters' sacred melodies--played on six string donso ngoni (hunter's harps)-- to a music of philosophical observations, politics and daily life. Mamadou was one of the first to expand the instrument's range by adding extra strings, creating the popular kamale ngoni. Mamadou, with artists Coumba Sidibe, Oumou Sangare and Ramatu Diakite, spread the new sounds through recordings and performances in Europe, Africa and the United States. Not only is Mamadou a master of the kamale ngoni, he is accomplished on several other African instruments as well.

9pm: Azúcarada (Mexican Son Jarocho)
Bay Area musicians Monica Fimbrez & Cassandra Millspaugh play Son Jarocho, a folk genre of music from Veracruz, Mexico with Indigenous, Spanish, African and Arabic roots. It combines elements of call and response singing, improvisation, percussive dancing, and community participation. The "Fandango" is the natural setting for Son Jarocho. Fandangos are festive events where the whole community can come listen, eat, sing, dance and play, regardless of level of musicianship.  Azúcarada is dedicated to studying and sharing their love for Son Jarocho, music they sincerely believe cultivates joy, opens hearts, and heals.
