Amadou And Mariam

Brilliant Malian couple who met at an institute for the blind, undoubtedly dipping into 2008's 'Welcome to Mali' LP, which extended the boundaries of African music hugely by fusing it with blues-rock, electronica and pop. Here to promote follow-up 'Folila' – which includes guest appearances from TV On The Radio, Santigold and Ebony Bones – they perform in A Room From London; the boat perched atop Queen Elizabeth Hall, with footage beamed live to the front room.
