-M-‘s Lamomali Returns: A Reimagined Musical Odyssey
The Malian adventure of -M-, Lamomali, is set to enchant audiences again in 2025. This powerful fusion of Earth, Africa, and music, first launched in 2017, returns with an electrifying new chapter. “For -M-, Lamomali is a symbol of what music can accomplish: unite, move and transport beyond words,” the artist says. The tour promises an immersive experience, filled with the soul of Toumani Diabaté and the exceptional voice of Fatoumata Diawara.
The Soul of Mali: Music as a Bridge Between Cultures
Lamomali goes beyond mere concert; it is a journey. The Kora, a totemic instrument in Malian culture, takes center stage. Its notes resonate with ancestral traditions, bridging generations and cultures. “The Kora and the soul of Toumani Diabaté resonate in this spiritual adventure,” -M- explains. The instrument serves as a link between past and present, its melodies carrying the weight of tradition while embracing the future.
Reinterpreting Magic: News Songs and Timeless Classics
This is not a repeat performance. This new tour is a deep exploration of the roots that gave birth to Lamomali, a reinterpretation of its magic. “Lamomali is neither a sequel nor a repetition, but a deep exploration of the roots that gave birth to it,” -M- reveals.
Audiences can expect to be moved by the raw emotion of reimagined classic tracks from the original album alongside powerful new compositions. Songs like “Bal de Bamako” and “Manitoumani” are sure to stir the soul, while new melodies promise to expand the palette of Lamomali’s sound.
A Celebration of Cultures: Voice, Tradition, and Innovation
Lamomali transcends geographical borders, inviting audiences to dive into the intersection of cultures.
It is a vibrant tapestry woven from traditional instruments, masterful vocals, and the creative energy of artists from diverse backgrounds. It’s a swirling vortex of musical talent, breathtaking stage presence, and the profound power of music to unite.
