About the event
The theme of this evening’s Global Infusions will be:
Malian Magic 🇲🇱
Once known as a musical heart of Africa, the country of Mali experienced a tragic change when in 2012 militant government officials banned the recording and playing of music. Even music on cell phone rings were prohibited!
Yet the ancient and vibrant culture of Malian sounds still lives on. Musicians around the world continue to play the country's many beautiful instruments such as the kora and balafon. On this special evening at Oxytocin, we will be joined by two incredible players of the Malian harp, the 'Ngoni".
Our artists of the evening are Akacia Rose and Tober, artists who have dedicated themselves to mastering the peaceful and ethereal sounds of the ngoni.
Fun facts: Akacia built her ngoni herself, and if there is potential for world peace, it’s probably going to come from her playing it.
