Samba Touré‘s music is characterised by hypnotic guitar grooves that radiate with the intensity of the desert sun. He transcends boundaries and creates an authentic and groundbreaking sonic landscape, a journey of emotional depth and rhythmic power, where tradition meets innovation, resonating with the spirit of northern Mali. On 1 October, this guitar icon will perform in the PAARD!
The famous Malian guitar legend is praised for his distinctive style, which not only reflects the legacy of the legendary Ali Farka Touré, but also elevates it. With him, he toured worldwide. The origins of their collaboration date back to the 1990s, when Ali Farka Touré discovered the young singer while playing with Farafina Lolo – Samba’s first group, which became immensely popular in Mali.
This concert is a collaboration between PAARD and ProJazz.

Cymande is the most important British R&B/Soul group of their generation, a band that so many people have heard of but have yet to hear of. Endlessly sampled, the band was one of the first to mix African rhythms with rock, funk, reggae and soul.
The early 1970s in South London brought together a group of black musicians who had emigrated to the UK as children from the Caribbean. Led by Patrick Patterson (guitar, vocals) and Steve Scipio (bass, vocals), they formed Cymande, a band so unique and ahead of its time that, despite their success in the US in the 1970s, it is only in recent years that the general public has begun to really take notice of them.
Since Cymande’s reformation several years ago, they have been quite active touring. Recently they’ve played at We Out Here and All Points East to audiences packed with teens and 20-somethings. “And singing along with the songs!” marvels Steve, “They’re familiar with the material.”
Support: Jimmy Inkz is an independent rapper, songwriter, and producer from London. His tracks blend introspective storytelling and razor‑sharp UK‑rap punchlines with tight, largely self‑produced beats.
