Guitarist / songwriter Leni
Stern fell for West African music in a big way. She mastered
Malian guitar styles as well as the traditional n'goni lute. Stern did
so well that she was invited to play Mali's legendary Festival of the Desert
several times. She's even featured in a new documentary film about
the festival,
Last Song Before
the War (screening
this Friday at New York's African Film Fest). Tonight Leni and
her African Trio will be quite busy right here at home: Right after
their FMU session they head to the East Vilage to play at Nublu. They also have gigs at the 55 Bar, 55 Christopher St. on Tuesday (May 20) at 10 pm and at Silvana, 300 W 116 St. in Harlem on Wednesday (May 21) at 9 pm.
The Leni Stern African Trio is:
Leni Stern - guitar, vocals
Mamadou Ba - bass
Alioune Faye - percussion, vocals
