The band Kikeh Mato.

Kikeh Mato

Kikeh Mato plays Afro-pop, and while the band will create music in any clime, it’s super fun to hear the melodic tunes in the steamy hot environs of the Bolz Conservatory. Mandjou Mara, a griot (praise singer) and master drummer, has an additional seven-member band; the conservatory has orchids — perched among the foliage for Olbrich’s Orchid Escape (through March 3). Prepare to use the coat check.

media release: Canopy Sessions: Start your weekend with a live concert performed in one of Madison’s most unique venues: the Bolz Conservatory! Explore the tropics, enjoy the warmth, and be entertained by some of the area’s most talented musicians.

Griot and Djembefola Mandjou Mara create contemporary music with the Afro-pop group Kikeh Mato. Kikeh Mato means “look at the moon,” as Mandjou notes the power of the moon to provide solace, inspiration, and hope.
