About This Event
Join us for an unforgettable night at Southbank Centre鈥檚 Queen Elizabeth Hall, where the soul of Wassoulou meets the power of orchestral sound. Grammy-winning icon Oumou Sangar茅 - known as 鈥楾he Songbird of Wassoulou鈥� - brings her fierce spirit, soaring vocals, and genre-defying sound to London in an unmissable collaboration with the 蜜芽传媒 Concert Orchestra.
Sangar茅鈥檚 music is a powerful blend of tradition and innovation, weaving blues, folk, and rock into the rich tapestry of West African rhythm; a testament to resilience, heritage, and the unbreakable bond between music and identity.
Oumou Sangar茅 received recognition in the Aga Khan Music Awards in 2019 for her Distinguished and Enduring Contributions to Music. Opening the concert are winners of the 2025 awards鈥攁rtists whose work preserves and reimagines musical traditions from across diverse cultures.
This concert is curated by the Aga Khan Music Awards 2025 in collaboration with the EFG London Jazz Festival and celebrates outstanding musical creativity inspired by cultural heritage across the world.
