Spend THANKSGIVING with very special guests
MAMADY & MAMADY - Guinean Guitar Duo
Guitarists Mamady Kouyate et Mamady Kourouma, both from Guinea, have been playing together since their teenage years. They started out as troubadours who would travel from village to village, picking up gigs along the way. They both ended up joining some of the early National Orchestras such as le 22 Novembre Band, L'Orchestre Federal Kouroussa and finally, in the case of Kouyate, the Bembeya jazz - Gunea's most prestigious musical export.
Mamady Kouyate, after getting in some deep political trouble back home and being jailed a few times, ended up moving to New York, soon followed by Kourouma. The two have been playing in Kouyate's New York band, The Mandingo Ambassadors.
For now the 5th year, Mamady & Mamady are celebrating Thanksgiving at Barbès by going back to their early years, playing in duo form and transforming our backroom in a Guinean village venue. Don't miss it.
