Afel Bocoum brings the soul of the Sahara to Turner Sims!An unforgettable night of music as legendary Malian guitarist and songwriter Afel Bocoum brings the hypnotic rhythms of ‘desert blues’ to life.
Hailing from the town of Niafunké on the banks of the Niger River – whose other honoured son is the late, great Ali Farka Touré – Bocoum carries the torch of a rich musical legacy. He joined Touré’s band at just 13, and has since carved out his own path, blending traditional Malian sounds with blues, folk, and global influences.
