Ha Noi hosts concert fusing Malian and Vietnamese music

A night of exotic music will be performed by Malian musician Musbaba with Vietnamese artists in Ha Noi tonight.

The night will include pieces composed by Musbaba, a Ha Noi-based artist, using traditional Vietnamese instruments such as the dan tranh (16-chord zither) with Malian percussion.


The concert is part of a project launched in 2012 by Musbaba to gather artists from different musical genres. Since then, Musbaba has worked to combine Vietnamese dan tranh melodies with Malian rhythms.

The project has created unusual yet harmonious collaborations among musicians from very different backgrounds.

The concert will begin at 8pm at L'Espace, 24 Trang Tien Street.
