About the concert
Singer and guitarist Afel Bocoum from Mali is one of the standard-bearers of contemporary African music. He is also known as a band member of Ali Farka Touré, the famous inventor of desert blues. Tonight, Afel Bocoum brings his own great songs, in which political and social commitment is wrapped in optimistic sounds and rhythms, to the Recital Hall.
This spring you will hear no fewer than three different African music legends in The Concertgebouw: in addition to Afel Bocoum, they are Boubacar Traoré, on May 20 in the Recital Hall and Salif Keita, on May 27 in the Main Hall.
Jazz and pop music
It goes without saying that The Concertgebouw and jazz & pop music make a perfect combination. The stages of both the Main Hall and the Recital Hall have borne witness to nearly the whole of jazz history. Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald have both performed here, as have Miles Davis and Louis Armstrong. Famous pop stars and bands that have graced the stage of the Main Hall include Frank Zappa, the Doors and the Eagles, to name but a few. Legendary concerts, in the present as well as the past.
