This summer, enjoy a a family-friendly concert in our new David Geffen Hall. Senegalese-born master percussionist, author, composer, and performer Élage Diouf moved to Canada in 1996 to pursue a musical career that continues to flourish today. His music, a hybrid of pop, world, blues, folk, and asiko, meets at the artistic crossroads of artists such as Carlinhos Brown, Peter Gabriel, and Andres Cepeda. Because of the musicality of his native language, he sings mainly in Wolof. A renowned star in his native Senegal, he officially made a name for himself in North America with his first solo album, Aksil ("welcome" in Wolof,) which received many accolades, a JUNO Award (Canadian Grammy) for World Music Album of the Year, and a FÉLIX for the World Music Album of the Year at the Gala de l'ADISQ (Québec). Join an interactive, creative Pre-Show Family Workshop led by Lincoln Center Teaching Artists! Open to visitors of all ages and ability levels who are excited and curious to explore art-making inspired by the performance.
