With sunny charm and irresistible grooves, Amadou & Mariam remain true to their roots in West African blues-rock. The husband-and-wife duo who met almost 45 years ago at the Institute for the Young Blind in Bamako, Mali, deliver a signature mix of unforgettable pop melodies and contagious rhythms, driven by bluesy electric guitar and the compelling interplay of their voices.  

With a career that spans 70 years, Blind Boys of Alabama are recognized worldwide as living legends of gospel music. Inductees into the  Gospel Music Hall of Fame and winners of six Grammys, they  are known for crossing musical boundaries with their remarkable interpretations of everything from traditional gospel to  music crafted by  contemporary songwriters.
