Alpha Yaya Diallo’s music, the intoxicating and beautifully-rendered sounds of his West African homeland, has won him passionate fans and multiple accolades across Canada and around the world. This fall, in a ground-breaking performance project, this three-time Juno Award-winner takes the experience of his music to a new and even more exciting level with the creation of the West African Summit. West African Summit is ninety minutes of pure entertainment, a dynamic musical journey into the irresistible rhythms and exuberant dance of Guinea, Senegal and Mali. The landmark nine-city national tour begins in Toronto on November 16, with performances in Montreal;Sioux Lookout, Ontario;Prince Albert & Saskatoon, Saskatchewan; Sherwood Park & Camrose, Alberta, and; Golden & Vancouver, BC
Together, this extraordinary artistic team and troupe promise a musical experience that goes beyond a concert, beyond a show to deliver a true glimpse into the heart, the beauty, power and sheer energy of West African music.
Presented as a Collaboration between Caravan World Rhythms and Bafing Productions.
