Belgian legend Zap Mama is coming to AB on 26 April. Win tickets.
In 2024, Zap Mama will release their first best-of album: a recap of a very richly filled career. Belgian-Congolese Marie Daulne is an artist of many talents: she’s a singer, composer, activist, and teacher of vocal polyphony. Since the early ‘90s, she’s been at the helm of Zap Mama – a polyphonic female a capella quintet with which she conquered world stages and even garnered a Grammy nomination. Daulne also launched the term ‘Afropean’ to name the existence of a bicultural generation of Afro-Europeans. She introduces the world to her experience of ethnically influenced music and fashion.
For the last 25 years, Zap Mama toured the United States, Japan and Europe. The band performed and worked with top artists such as The Neville Brothers, Al Jarreau, Talib Kweli, Common, Bilal, Questlove, Tony Allen and Bobby McFerrin. While living in New York, in 2004 Daulne released her fifth album Ancestry in Progress, which was produced by The Roots and marked a new highlight: the wonderful single Bandy Bandy with Erykah Badu that topped the Billboard World Music charts for weeks on end. Belgian music history on a historic stage!
Zap Mama will bring 2 exceptional female artists as special guests for her concert in AB on 26 april: her daughter K.Zia and Selah Sue.
