LEARNING FROM THE OLDEST AFRICAN BAND ALIVE
Two days before the indelible performance of the legendary Youssou N’dour , we had organised a MasterClass/Jam Session with musicians from the mythical group « Super Étoile de Dakar » we learned a large number of things, from the secret of their longevity as a band to their « mbalax » music style.
Music Legend Youssou N’Dour Rocks the stage and Delivers a Show-Stopping Performance!
Lusaka, Zambia, – On the evening of 25th March, 2023, music legend Youssou N’Dour took the stage at the Lusaka International Convention Centre Bonanza Estate and delivered an unforgettable performance that left the audience in awe. The Grammy award- winning artist known for his soulful voice and captivating stage presence along with his spectacular band Super Étoile de Dakar, treated the fans to a night of music that will be remembered for years to come.
It is the start of a brand-new year, and we are delighted because this definitely presents us an opportunity to start all over again on a blank slate and work with amazing partners – both new and old – to propose awesome programs and experiences to our various audiences.
We, in collaboration with the Brazilian Embassy in Lusaka, Highfly Tours and Latitude15, presented a unique Bossa Nova Jazz Music experience in Lusaka with French guitarist Cedric Caillud and two of his friends.
An ensemble comprising classical musicians from Latvia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe, conducted a one night only concert at the Alliance Française de Lusaka.
We are always privileged to have artists from all walks of life come through to Alliance Française de Lusaka. It is even more exciting when we have Mumba Yachi visit.
