Introducing Muso Folas! Ireland’s first all female West African Percussion ensemble, taking to the stage alongside two of Irelands leading West African music ensembles and the great Monette and Nasira Marino Keita from California. 14 years since the historic visit to the Big Bang (in the National Concert Hall) by the late great Guinean percussion icon, Mamady Keita, two extraordinary drummers, his then wife Monette and his daughter, Nasira, make a return visit. This promises to be a festival highlight and one of the big West African drum and dance jams of 2023!
