Community Cultural Celebration and Concert with Baaba Maal

Concert Live Music Folk & Traditional

What’s Happening?

Baaba Maal is a Senegalese singer and guitarist born in Podor, on the Senegal River. The singer and guitarist belongs to the semi-nomadic Fulani people. He first left his homeland of Fouta, in the river valley region of northern Senegal, almost 40 years ago, to perform music hundreds of miles away as a teenage boy scout and he has been a wanderer ever since. “It’s part of my culture,” he says. “The songs travel from village to village, from country to country. It’s something natural to my tribe and this part of Africa.”

The Arvada Center and African Leadership Group are thrilled to present the music of Baaba Maal in a community celebration and concert!

Art is a rich expression of community, identity and culture - a way for all of us to share our stories and our heritage with each other and the world. This Community Celebration and Concert features a community gathering of music, food, fashion and art, followed by a concert with  music from Baaba Maal, one of Senegal's most celebrated musicians.
