Burkina Faso Meets Harlem – A Cultural Convergence @ The Langston Hughes House
Join us for an unforgettable night with Yahaya Kaburi and Friends from Burkina Faso, along with Spoken Word by Harlem’s own Earl Majette.
On September 29th Harlem’s iconic Langston Hughes House will host a salon-style performance of traditional music from Burkina Faso in communion with Harlem’s own spoken word tradition. This unique event promises to be a night filled with soulful rhythms, stirring poetry and Black cultural unity: two not-so-distant cultures mutually inspired.
Yahaya Kabore, Mamoudou Konate Simbo and Adama Diara are three seasoned and well-traveled musicians who began making music together as young men in Burkina Faso. Now, reunited in the Bronx and Harlem, they have formed Burkindie Music, a percussion ensemble steeped in tradition, fused with a contemporary voice.
