Momi Maiga is a gifted Senegalese musician, composer, and singer whose passion and talent transcend borders. With a kora in his hands and a heart full of stories, Momi crafts melodies that weave together the rich tapestry of his West African heritage with the soulful rhythms of jazz, flamenco, and classical music. At just 27, he has already enchanted audiences around the globe, earning accolades such as the Emerging Talent 2024 at the Alícia Awards.

"Solos, unison passages and clapping patterns once agaig awoke flamenco. In following songs, its continues to build the harmonious bridge between Africa and Europe. His kora solos gain monumentum and complexity and develop an almost magical intensity towards the end" - Norbert Krampf

His debut album “Nio” and the latest release “Kairo” are testaments to his ability to blend tradition and innovation, creating a powerful musical journey that touches the soul. Momi’s music is more than sound; it is a heartfelt dialogue between cultures, a call for peace, and a celebration of life.

Momi Maiga is joined by Aleix Tobias, Carlos Montfort, and Marçal Ayats. Together, this quartet featuring kora, violin, cello, percussion, and vocals delivers a boundaryless journey through music. Their performance seamlessly blends jazz, flamenco, and classical string arrangements with the rich oral traditions of Senegal, creating a captivating fusion of Mediterranean melodies and global rhythms.
