The concert scheduled for this Thursday July 13 within Noches del Botánico - SALIF KEÏTA + BOKANTÉ -, suffers a change of program due to illness of Salif KeÏta. For this concert, which was planned as an act in favor of raising awareness of the problem of refugees in the world, SALIF KEÏTA (who promises to return when his medical condition allows it), proposes and endorses the African formation, LES AMAZONES D'AFRIQUE, as an alternative so that the message he wanted to convey is not lost, a decision that the organization of the festival supports and therefore will be the group that will accompany BOKANTË in this double program.
LES AMAZONES D'AFRIQUE is an all-female group that was born in 2015 in West Africa with the idea of making music their instrument in the fight against female violence.
All the members involved in this formation are each acclaimed voices in Africa: Kandia Kouyaté, Mamani Keita, Rokia Koné, Nneka, Angélique Kidjo, Mariam Koné, Mouneïssa Tandina and Pamela Badjogo.
This collective mixes generations, music and seeks to perpetuate the Mandinga tradition to empower African cities.
