Considered one of the best guitarists in Mali, Samba Touré grew up in the Timbuktu region. It perpetuates the immense legendary musical heritage of Ali Farka Touré, "king of African blues", who died in 2006.

With Lamia Bedioui, Savina Yannatou and Primavera en Salonico take you on a journey of musical exploration of water.

This evening will be devoted to a cappella singing.

Album release "Aswat" ("The sounds") 

Let yourself be carried away by the sound of diatonic accordions by Anne Niepold and Andy Cutting. Nourished by different currents and influences, the musician Anne Niepold always pushes the limits of her instrument further. From “Deux accords diront” to “Musette is not dead”, she lives her passion without borders and proves to be one of the most innovative accordionists in Europe. His repertoire lies between different musical traditions. It crosses eras, brings styles together and decompartmentalizes aesthetics.

The first Queimada of the year promises to be a great vintage! As usual, we will start the evening with an introduction to dance led by our partner Frisse Folk. This will be followed by two of the big names in folk dances – Dani Padpe and Caamaño & Ameixeiras – who will set the Maison du Peuple on fire. During the interval, there will be the famous ritual ceremony of the magic drink ‘Queimada’, prepared by our mysterious druid and accompanied by our Galician bagpipe band A Contrabanda, as tradition demands.
