Poet Lemn Sissay MBE (Associate Artist at The Southbank Centre) has been invited to feature on Baaba Maal’s tour in the US in 2013. After a wondrous performance with Baaba at this summer’s Africa Utopia event Word Sound Power it’s all enough to make us want to cobble together collective resources and cross the atlantic to get in on all the fun. Sadly, selling your granny for plane tickets or something similarly inappropriate deters us from doing so but we wholeheartedly encourage our American readers, anyone on a US holiday, and all their culture vulture friends to not miss out on this slice of collaboration heaven. Keep checking each respective website for info on the tour.
