Afro-Middle East FusionA new collaboration with Mamadou Sidibe, on Ngoni and vocals, master of Malian music & Eliyahu Sills on Middle Eastern oud, flutes and bass.
This will be an evening of music from Mali, and original music by Mamadou Sidibe and Eliyahu Sills.
Mamadou Sidibe The instrument that Sidibe plays, a 14-string kamele n’goni, is one that he pioneered. The traditional six-string donso n’goni is used for hunter rituals and ceremonies in the Wassoulou region where Mali, Ivory Coast, and Guinea converge. Sibide faced great resistance when he started adding strings and playing the instrument with the women who brought the incantatory Wassoulou sound to the world, particularly Coumba Sidibe (no direct relation) and Oumou Sangaré.
Eliyahu Sills
As a highly acclaimed musician of multiple instruments, Eliyahu’s devotion to his craft and profound understanding of various musical lineages have garnered him worldwide recognition and admiration.
With a deep love and dedication to his art, Eliyahu has immersed himself in studying and performing multiple musical traditions. These include folkloric and spiritual music of various Middle Eastern lineages, Indian Hindustani Ragas, and the multifaceted branches of African-American music, including Jazz, Soul, and Funk.
