MWI Welcomes New Project ‘From Bamako To Birmingham – Amadou and Mariam with Blind Boys of Alabama’

The Gospel icons and the powerhouse duo of Afro-pop collaborate for an exclusive tour wrapped around a special program bringing American Gospel back to its African source.

Touring July 4 to August 7, 2019

“…a reminder that gospel music, at its core, is American music, and when performed by masters of the craft like the Blind Boys of Alabama, hard divisions between religious and secular fall away.”

– PASTE MAGAZINE

“Amadou & Mariam take the basic DNA of Western pop and soul and make it jump to irresistible African rhythms… They’re artists, after all, whose music comes in gloriously vivacious colour.”
