“Touré’s hypnotic guitar grooves, unshakable vocals and commanding lyrics raise the music to a level of profound artistry.”
Renowned Malian guitarist and songwriter Samba Touré brings the soul of the desert to the stage, blending traditional Songhoy music with blues, psychedelia, and raw emotional depth.
A former protégé of the legendary Ali Farka Touré, Samba has forged his own distinct path — one that stays true to his roots while continually evolving. His latest album, Baarakelaw, pays homage to the overlooked rhythms of daily life in Mali, capturing everything from bustling street scenes to intimate reflections on love and loss.
With music steeped in heritage and honesty, Samba returns with a set rich in heart, grit and groove. His sound is both timeless and immediate, speaking to the resilience of the human spirit.
This is a powerful, poetic journey through the everyday — led by one of Mali’s most captivating voices.
