Rokia Traoré Tickets

ROKIA TRAORÉ

Dance (Donke)

Australian Exclusive
Mali’s Rokia Traoré proves why she is one of the most adventurous singer/songwriters in Africa. The versatile Traoré presents three specially-curated events, Sing – Dance – Dream (Donguili – Donke – Damou), each performed in a different venue with a distinct repertoire and musical backing.

While all three events are derived from various elements of Malian music, culture and tradition, each program takes a very different path, with the only common element being Traoré and her glorious voice.

In Dance Traoré leads a stellar band in a potent celebration of African rock, blues and dance based around songs from her forthcoming John Parish-produced album.
