Singer-Songwriter Daby Touré Is Trying To Unite The World Through Music
Resume
Daby Touré is a critically-acclaimed African singer-songwriter, and though he lives in France now, his story is the story of the African diaspora — of a peripatetic childhood that exposed him to a cosmopolitan mix of languages, cultures and music — all of which made their way into his own songs.
Daby Touré will be performing Thursday at Cafe 939 in Boston.
