Documented collaborators
From Bamako To Birmingham is a live-collaboration project that sparked a vibrant cross-continental musical conversation between Mali and the UK. Initially emerging with the 2019 single From Bamako to Birmingham, the project has since toured Europe and the United States, including notable performances in New York City and Boston in 2022. The project draws on Afro-pop and world music fusion, weaving in elements from traditional gospel through collaborations with iconic acts like the Blind Boys of Alabama. As Amadou Bagayoko’s passing in 2025 marks a turning point, Mariam Doumbia continues the duo’s legacy, contributing to a forthcoming posthumous Amadou & Mariam release and new commemorative performances across the scene. Here you’ll find a concise biography, discography highlights, and upcoming tour information for this influential collaboration.
