Aptly titled ‘Blackberrys Sharp Nights – Masters Of World Music’ showcased a live performance by world's leading world music performer Fatoumata Diawara at the Blue Frog, Mehrauli this evening.
The inaugural Delhi chapter, part of a five city music tour, had guests immersed in the passion of Malian world music star Fatoumata Diawara.The internationally acclaimed Fatoumata had the audience in raptures. Accompanied by a smoking live band, Fatoumata mesmerized the audience with her high-energy jazz and funk flowing into joyous and sensual folk-rock, inflected with the rhythms and melodies of her native Wassoulou, the historic region in southwest Mali. Her radiant voice and infectious Afro-pop mixed the expansive and the understated. With this first-of-its-kind world music performance,audiences received a double delight with home grown talent, Barmer Boys performing on the very same stage. The iridescent combination of Rajasthani folk and sufi soul served as the perfect precursor.
