Siama is on Jury Duty
Siama's Congo Music
Feel-good sounds from the Heart of Africa
“When we listen to Siama's, "Land of Yangalele" we hear home, Mama Africa. This is very beautiful music that everyone can enjoy.”
— Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Back in Africa, Siama Matuzungidi (see-AHH-maw) became a soukous legend, recording his intricate guitar on hundreds or songs and touring the world with popular artists. Now in Minneapolis, his catchy, upbeat songs and musicianship have earned him a McKnight Fellowship and numerous grants and a Parents' Choice Parent Approved award. He loves performing special concerts and events and sharing his happy music with kids and their families. In addition to singing and guitar, Siama plays traditional African instruments like mbira (thumb piano) and balafon (marimba).
“We dig it! A great addition to the family music mosaic! Outstanding rhythms and performances. ”
— Joe and Justin - The Okee Dokee Brothers

This event features author Kristin Tripathy from Victoria. Her two books focus on how despite speaking different languages, we can all communicate and be friends. One book is titled ‘My Friend, Mi Amigo’. Siama and Dallas will play a 1 hour set but there's more entertainment and fun on-deck throughout the entire event. Sponsored by Carver County Library.
Siama plays 4x/month at the airport (either in F Concourse at MSP Airport or at Terminal 2)
Bring the kids (especially 0-5s) to sing, dance, play shakers and have a blast with their friends at the market. Totally free, big fun.
