# Event Details - **Event Name**: Fula Brothers - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 10:00 pm - **Event Description**: Joy and magic at the musical crossroads of West Africa and AmericaAbout this EventFifteen years ago, Malian hunters harp('kamale ngoni') player Mamadou Sidibe and American guitarist Walter Strauss began their colorful cross-cultural collaboration, evolving a deep joyful music that is simultaneously ancient and fresh. Together, they weave West African hunters harp, fingerstyle guitar, vocals, and a bounty of improvisation into an ecstatic groove-based dialogue which the heart - and the feet - cannot resist.Master kamale ngoni player, Mamadou Sidibe, is from the Wassoulou Region of Mall, West Africa. He played a groundbreaking role in the transformation of this region's music from its origins in hunters' sacred melodies - played on six string donso ngoni (hunter's harps) - to a music of philosophy, politics, and dally life. Mamadou, with artists Coumba Sidibe and Oumou Sangare, spread the new sounds through Europe, Africa, and the US.Fingerstyle guitarist Walter Strauss's multi-layered style draws on American roots, jazz, classical, and Spanish guitar traditions, and a decades-long exploration of West African stringed instrumental music. Acoustic Guitar Magazine says his innovative approach “has managed to elevate the instrument and the genre on the whole”. He has performed from New York to Glasgow and Bamako, and his collaborators have ranged from Grammy-winning kora player Mamadou Diabate to Scottish fiddler Johnny Hardie. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/oakland/fula-brothers/100001989116476928 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, live-music, art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - door_time: 2026-07-12T01:30:00Z - Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes - Location: The Sound Room - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 29.58, max: 34.92, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Oakland - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: The Sound Room - **lat**: 37.8190855 - **long**: -122.2615116 - **full address**: The Sound Room, 3022 Broadway, Oakland, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Fula Brothers - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/576987839fd9c2d9aaca7252d17e0c41066c0a5882d3c5aabb598ab09514aaff-rimg-w1200-h1349-dca2a8a8-gmir.jpg?v=1778760483 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Fula Brothers being held? - **A:** Fula Brothers takes place on Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 10:00 pm at The Sound Room, 3022 Broadway, Oakland, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Fula Brothers? - **A:** Fula Brothers is organized by Bay Area Jazz & Arts, Inc. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
