MARIAM sings AMADOU & MARIAM

A London evening of Amadou & Mariam's music, performed by MARIAM at EartH in Stoke Newington. The night is presented by FORM, with additional special guests.

The Malian duo Amadou & Mariam was formed by a married couple of musicians and singers, and has been active since 1980, having been founded in Bamako in 1974. Their music draws on afro-pop and worldbeat, and the group is signed to Universal Music Group. This evening is not a performance by the original band: it features MARIAM singing the repertoire of Amadou & Mariam, with special guests appearing alongside.

The event takes place in the EartH Hall, part of EartH, a concert and performance venue at 11 Stoke Newington Road in north London. EartH is run as a social enterprise that supports new musicians, and it houses music studios that young artists in Hackney can use free of charge.

The programme suits listeners who want to hear the songs of Amadou & Mariam performed live by a singer in their own right, in a Hackney venue with a focus on emerging music.
