Baaba Maal & Mbongwana Star
Senegalese singer-songwriter and percussionist Baaba Maal makes his debut on the Pyramid stage, followed by Mbongwana Star and their traditional Congolese music with punk attitude.
Highlights from the Glastonbury Festival of Performing Arts continue with Senegalese superstar Baaba Maal. The singer-songwriter and percussionist, who recently released his 17th album The Traveller, is no stranger to Glastonbury, but as he makes his debut on the Pyramid stage he'll provide a modern but evocative musical twist on the West African tradition of the griot.
The storytelling troubadour is closely followed by Mbongwana Star. The chaotically creative musicians from Kinshasa will be breaking all the rules when it comes to traditional Congolese music with their punk attitude and thrilling psychedelic sounds, as they make their debut at the festival on the West Holts stage.
