| This event will take place in the HBS Garden (Lab Grounds, ‘s-Gravendijkwal 58).

Lab Grounds proudly presents: The Playgrounds Sessions! This summer, we will open our cosy garden again and every two weeks we will serve you the best live music, the tastiest food and the coldest drinks to create an amazing evening together. Each session, we invite a couple of artists who will take you on a musical journey into their wonderful world.

Omar Ka & Bao Sissoko

Senegalese Rotterdam-based Omar Ka brings the rich musical tradition of the Fulani, West Africa’s largest nomadic people, to the GROUNDS Café. His eccentric voice and irresistible mix of Fulani folk, Dakar beats, Afro-reggae and Desert blues will leave no one unmoved. For this special occasion, he will be accompanied by Bao Sissoko, a masterful kora player who has previously performed with Baaba Maal, Zap Mama and Malick Pathe Sow. Together, they will take us on an intimate journey to their African roots.
