Vocal, flute, drums, and machines - that's ROSAWAY: a Pop-jazz band hailing from Paris.  Distinctly French, somewhat theme-tune-style, and a whole lot of groovy, this four-piece group is a blend of past and present.

Diali Cissokho & Kaira Ba

Saturday, February 3 at 8:00 PM

Sitnik Theatre | Lackland Performing Arts Center

Hailing from a long line of Senegalese musicians and storytellers known as griots, Diali Cissokho made the transatlantic move almost ten years ago.  Shortly afterward, he formed the band Kaira Ba with the aid of several like-minded Piedmont musicians.  Together, they blend the traditions and rhythms of West African music with subtle timbres of the American South. In essence, Diali Cissokho & Kaira Ba makes dance music that bridges the continental divide.
