World Music Institute Presents Natu Camara At City Winery

World Music Institute co-presents WOMEN'S VOICES SERIES with City Winery, Sunday, May 22, 2022 at The Loft at City Winery - 25 11th Ave (at 15th St), Manhattan.

One of the brightest stars to emerge from the West African nation of Guinea, Natu Camara has lately been blowing up in her adopted hometown of NYC. Born in Côte d'Ivoire, but raised in Guinea, Natu got her start as the teenage founder of West Africa's first all-female hip hop group Ideal Black Girls (IBG). Today she is a seasoned singer, songwriter, and producer who weaves beautiful musical tapestries of her beloved homeland and her adopted city. Her most recent album, 2018's critically-acclaimed Dimedi, recorded in Bamako, Mali at Mory Kanté's Moffou Studios, showcases the depth and maturity of her songwriting.

Singing in five languages, she uses her songs to build cultural bridges and to share her commitment to the education and empowerment of women and girls. Similar to her artistic influences, including Miriam Makeba, Fela Kuti, and Baba Maal, Natu's uplifting message is wrapped in a blend of afro-rock, pop, and soul that will inspire you to get up on your feet and dance.
