Founded 20 years ago by Baaba Maal & Damon Albarn, Africa Express is a unique musical collective dedicated to bringing stars of the African continent to international stages. The project began in 2006 in Mali, where local greats such as Toumani Diabaté, Bassekou Kouyaté, and Amadou & Mariam met international guest artists such as Martha Wainwright, Fatboy Slim, and co-founder Damon Albarn. Today, Africa Express is a globally acclaimed project that has continued to expand its musical horizons. On its current tour, stars and newcomers from Africa, Mexico, the UK, and the US present a cross-genre show ranging from cumbia, hip-hop, and kuduro to soul, salsa, folk, and pop. This includes brand-new songs created for the legendary Mexican festival Bahidorá 2024. The concerts are unique, wild jam parties whose course and duration are almost unpredictable – the perfect start to the summer!
