Toumani Diabate will launch a European tour next month in support of his new solo album, The Mande Variations, with the first stop in Paris on April 25. See below for complete tour information.
Here is a performance of "Cantelowes," the closing track off The Mande Variations, from the album's live world premiere earlier this year at the prestigious El Real Alcazar
de Sevilla in Spain. The Independent (UK) called the event "a performance that surpasses
anything ... for sheer scale of ambition and technical achievement."
