Songhoy Blues

Songhoy Blues are one of the most exciting new band to have emerged from Mali in recent years.

Though their music bears elements of contemporary rock and hip hop, at its heart is their deep attachment to the homegrown songs and dances of Mali’s Songhoy people as well as such iconic West African guitar heroes as Baba Salah and Ali Farka Touré.

The TalkingGig will feature the band in conversation with Andy Morgan (who co-wrote the They Will Have to Kill Us First documentary) and playing acoustic versions of several of their unique songs.

* There will be a screening of They Will Have To Kill Us First documentary prior to the TalkingGig with Songhoy Blues at 7:00pm - 8:40pm. Followed by the TalkingGig 9:00pm - 10:30pm.
