Colorful, warm, and full of rhythm, Amadou & Mariam light up the world with their music. As they prepare their final album and a return concert in Mali, their story is one of resilience, joy, and the power of sound to bring people together.
Since 1980s, their music has touched millions around the globe. They are the faces of contemporary West African music and while their successes are wide-ranging and impressive - their rise and relationship grew against the backdrop of the turmoil that has often beset their country. And it’s against this strife that Amadou & Mariam’s more recent songs have become anthems for the dispossessed. But the duo’s sound remains optimistic - a veritable inspiration over the world.
In this final album of their career, Amadou & Mariam are hoping to unite people and inspire change. They are also returning to Mali to perform the concert of a lifetime for the country they call home. This is the story of triumph over adversity, finding hope in a chaotic world, and most of all spreading joy through music.
