featuring Oumou Sangaré and band Festival Theatre
April 9, 2010 @ 8pm 
www.belafleck.com
www.oumousangare.com A finger-pickin'
night of African banjo-beats Described as the premier
banjo player in the world, 11-time Grammy Award winner
Béla Fleck will join international diva Oumou
Sangaré and her 12-piece Malian band on stage for one amazing
night.
A New York City
native Béla Fleck picked up the banjo at age 15 after being awed
by the bluegrass music of Flatt and Scruggs. While still in high
school he began experimenting with bebop jazz on his banjo.
Béla has made a name for himself on countless solo
and ensemble projects as a virtuoso instrumentalist unbounded by
genre. For The Africa Project Béla Fleck travelled to
Uganda, Tanzania, Senegal, Mali, South Africa and Madagascar to
explore the African origins of the banjo. Oumou Sangaré was
born in 1968 in Mali's capital Bamako, with her family Wassoulou,
in the South Western region of Mali. Sangaré is the leading female
star of the Wassoulou sound which is based on an ancient tradition
of hunting rituals mixed with songs about devotion, praise and
harvest played with petatonic (five-note melodies). Bookings:
