Info
Noura Mint Seymali, one of Mauritania’s notable voices, unites griot traditions, psychedelic guitar and hypnotic rhythms in a concert of raw energy and musical depth. With her long-time ensemble, she brings the Moorish musical tradition into a vibrant, modern and exploratory sound universe.
Noura Mint Seymali is Mauritania’s defining artist on the international stage. Her powerful voice and hypnotic stage presence have made her a leading figure in contemporary African music. Performing with her long-time ensemble — guitarist Jeich Ould Chighaly, bassist Ousmane Touré and drummer Matthew Tinari — she blends the deep modal textures of the Moorish griot tradition with psychedelic guitar lines and propulsive rhythms.
After captivating global audiences with Tzenni and Arbina, Noura returned with Yenbett (“it grows” in Hassaniya), an album recorded largely in her home city of Nouakchott that reimagines traditional Mauritanian songs with fresh energy and an adventurous spirit.
In 2025, Noura Mint Seymali was chosen for the Womex Artist Award for lifetime achievement. The award recognises the achievements of an individual artist or musical group and celebrates those who master their craft and embody artistic distinction, dynamism and creativity.
This concert at Kings Place on 30 January 2027 at 7h30 will last for approximately 75 minutes, without an interval.
