About Samba Lolo:*
Samba Lolo featuring Boubacar Diabate, West African Griot Music from Mali,
combined traditional rhythms with modern influences to create a unique style
of contemporary Malian Griot music. Singing in Bambara, Boubacar and Samba
Lolo create a performance that spans the full spectrum of Traditional to
Contemporary Malian music. Bouba sings of a common shared experience of
love, life and humanity, giving all an opportunity to hear the age-old West
African tradition of Griot storytelling through song intermingled with the
musicals accents of Jazz n' Blues and Reggae. For more information about
