Mandinka Sound Workshops
Mandinka Sound features two extraordinarily talented Melbourne based West African acts, Muhanamwé and One Africa.
Through music, dance and song, this unique show will take audiences on a journey that traces West African culture in contemporary Australia back to its roots in the ancient Mandinka empire of West Africa.
The show begins with a warm and intimate acoustic set from One Africa which brings together two of Melbourne’s most loved West African performers, King Marong and Lamine Sonko.
A subtle fusion of traditional West African culture and contemporary Australian influences, One Africa creates a hypnotically soulful repertoire of original songs. Providing the rhythm and groove, King Marong has been performing professionally since the age of 12 and since arriving in Australia in 1998, has built a reputation as a master of many African drumming styles and instruments.
