Nuits d’Afrique | Manamba Kanté and Soul Bang’s, Guinea’s “Beyoncé and Jay-Z

Interview by Sandra Gasana
Genres and styles : Africa / Soul/R&B

Additional Information

We don’t usually interview artist couples at PAN M 360. But that’s what we did with Manamba Kanté, daughter of Guinean legend Mory Kanté, and her husband and superstar Soul Bang’s. Both are part of the program for the 39th edition of the Festival international Nuits d’Afrique, offering us an indoor concert (for Soul Bang’s) and a concert on the big stage (for Manamba). Guinea is set to shine this year. Our journalist Sandra Gasana caught up with the duo, who are much compared to Beyoncé and Jay-Z, as they prepare to deliver two distinct shows that will leave a lasting impression on festival-goers.
