No one predicted the resultant musical alchemy when these three virtuosic musicians first met. Cousin of legendary kora player Toumani Diabate, Grammy Award nominee Mamadou Diabate's technical virtuosity transports his fans across continents. Renowned tabla virtuoso, (both in traditional Indian and cross-cultural genres), Bobby Singh (Tarlochan Kandola) has played with many of the top musicians in the world. Jeff Lang is a startlingly unique performer, acclaimed as a guitarist and dynamic songwriter who is forever expanding the boundaries of traditional folk, country and blues. Together they show their respects to cultural backgrounds of Africa, India and Australia. Steeped in tradition but brimming with innovation, this concert is a must for lovers of great live music.

Trio Djan Djan comprises Malian kora virtuoso Mamadou Diabate, Australian guitarist Jeff Lang and English-born, Australian based tabla player Bobby Singh. This trio pays tribute to the collective experience of their heritages, covering India, Africa and Australia but the music reaches beyond these three touchstones.
