Momi Maiga

Momi Maiga is a gifted Senegalese musician, composer, and singer whose passion and talent transcend borders. With a kora in his hands and a heart full of stories, Momi crafts melodies that weave together the rich tapestry of his West African heritage with the soulful rhythms of jazz, flamenco, and classical music. At just 27, he has already enchanted audiences around the globe, earning accolades such as the Emerging Talent 2024 at the Alícia Awards. His debut album “Nio” and the latest release “Kairo” are testaments to his ability to blend tradition and innovation, creating a powerful musical journey that touches the soul. Momi’s music is more than sound; it is a heartfelt dialogue between cultures, a call for peace, and a celebration of life.

Momi Maiga is joined by Aleix Tobias, Carlos Montfort, and Marçal Ayats. Together, this quartet—featuring kora, violin, cello, percussion, and vocals—delivers a boundaryless journey through music. Their performance seamlessly blends jazz, flamenco, and classical string arrangements with the rich oral traditions of Senegal, creating a captivating fusion of Mediterranean melodies and global rhythms.

Kairo" helps to solidify Momi Maiga's professional career, which began with his first album "Nio." Since its release, Momi has performed over 90 concerts across Spain, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and soon in Norway. The album will be launched at the Mediterranean Fair in Manresa, followed by an international tour that will begin at the Oslo World Festival, Molde Mundo, and Tromsø World Festival in Norway.

"Solos, unison passages, and clapping patterns once again evoke flamenco. In the following songs, it continues to build the harmonious bridge between West Africa and Europe. His kora solos gain momentum and complexity and develop an almost magical intensity towards the end" — Norbert Krampf
