Awa Sangho – White Plains Jazz Fest – September 25, 2016
This was actually a multi-act afternoon, of which I caught only a fraction. Headliner Sangho, the “golden voice of Mali”, is from a griot lineage; she featured a band that was totally (or almost – Moreno from USA, I think) African. The music had a strong drive, and when Sangho’s shoes came off, oooh the dancing!
