U.S. premiere! Singer, songwriter, and dancer Sayon Bamba—former lead singer of renowned Guinean band Les Amazones de Guinée—brings her singular voice and exuberant Afrobeat music to the Skirball.
A hit at world music festivals across France, Bamba is an outspoken activist against the practice of female genital
cutting and for women’s equality. Her music blends traditional Manding music with French lyrics and other diverse influences.
