One of the most original vocal artists to emerge from West Africa in decades, Julia Sarr honed her reputation as a backing vocalist in Paris for Lokua Kanza, Manu Dibango, MC Solaar, and other luminaries. Her and Patrice Larose’s first album, Set Luna (So I’ve Observed), and their recent U.S. concert debut at Carnegie’s Zankel Hall, are unlike anything else from the rich Senegalese and Flamenco traditions. Hailed by Youssou N’Dour as “the fresh face of African music”, and by The NY Times as a probing source of “introspection” in a revitalized African tradition.
