Mozambican pianist Mel Matsinhe has been named as of the top acts performing next week at Ségou’Art, an annual arts festival in Mali.
She will be only representative of a Portuguese-speaking country and will join the band Kôré Yeelen.
The “Festival Sobre o Niger” as it is also known – as the city is on the right bank of the River Niger – includes concerts, fairs, workshops, conferences and lectures.
“This is one of the largest and most stable cultural and art festivals in Africa and the invitation to represent an opportunity for me to establish a creative connection with different artists,” Matsinhe told Maputo’s Notícias newspaper.
In addition to the performances, the pianist, who is the founder of the Xiluva School of Arts in Maputo, will participate in two conversations about her experience as a creative entrepreneur and the impact of technologies on the development of the sector in Africa.
