Noura Mint Seymali 2013 Lotus World Music Arts Festival
Noura Mint Seymali was the opening act of the 2013 Lotus world Music Arts Festival in Bloomington, Indiana. Seymali, and her husband guitarist, Jeiche Ould Chighaly, hail from two of Mauritania s most prominent Moorish griot families, the storied class of musicianhistorians in West Africa. Located at the convergence of North and SubSaharan Africa, Mauritania bridges the cultural divide between the Arab world and Francophone West Africa, a convergence revealed most tellingly in the music of the griot.
