Cissokho Solo and Fidil with Fatoumata Diawara and Michael McGoldrick
Please Note: This is a past event.
Building on a very special show originally staged at the 2011 Earagail Arts Festival in Donegal, tonight reunites the radical young Irish fiddle trio Fidil with seventh-generation Senegalese griot singer and kora player Solo Cissokho – which built in turn on his previous collaborations with Altan’s Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh and Dermot Byrne, as well as with Swedish fiddler Ellika Frissell.
Forging further new links between African and Celtic, traditional and contemporary music, the wonderful new Malian singer Fatoumata Diawara, aka Fatou, will team up with the Michael McGoldrick Quartet, featuring Gerry O’Connor on banjo, guitarist Tony Byrne and percussionist James Mackintosh.
