Occidental Center for the Arts proudly presents Mamajowali – Joe Craven, Mamadou Sidibe, Walter Strauss. To hear these three musicians from far flung places collaborate is to take in three souls, listening and greeting one another in a universal language seamlessly interweaving two continents and three bright musical sensibilities.

Mamajowali mixes up and overlays West African music, old time American tunes, and spirited originals with hoppin’ grooves, tons of musical dialogue and tasty improvisational shenanigans. An upbeat blend of kamale ngon i (West African hunter’s harp), guitar, percussion, fiddle, mandolin and singing. Bring your dancing shoes or bask in some festive revelry!
