- Mande Maqamāt’ invites audiences into a hypnotic meeting point between the Gulf and the vast musical landscapes of West Africa. Beyond trade routes and history books lies a deeper current: shared rhythms, spiritual traditions, and cultural echoes that have travelled for centuries across deserts and oceans alike. This June, award-winning West African percussionist Yahael Camara Onono (Balimaya Project) transforms The Black Box into a laboratory of spontaneous exploration. Joined by a collective of virtuosos from the region and its diaspora, Onono weaves an evening of deep Mandé grooves, soaring Arabic maqamāt, and fearless improvisation.
