Amadou & Mariam with Worldwide Discotheque DJs
The Cedar and Sue McLean & Associates present
‘Exquisite, intergalactic Afro-pop’ (Time Out)
By popular demand after their sold out Minnesota debut at The Cedar last summer, Malian superstars Amadou & Mariam are back! They'll be bringing oodles of charm, irresistible grooves, and a crackerjack band.
Coming just two nights after Afrobeat stars Femi Kuti & The Positive Force (June 26), this show will be an equally unmissable focal point of The Cedar's African Summer 2013.
Worldwide Discotheque DJs Brian Engel and Dan MacAllister will spin some tunes ahead of the show.
This summer, keep your cool inside at the newly air-conditioned Cedar!
