Noura Mint Seymali

Entertaining a Los Angeles audience for the first time, Mauritania-born performer Noura Mint Seymali produces unique beats that promise to take locals to exotic lands, many of which are steeped in Arab and African traditions. And why not? This acclaimed artist, a person who was raised where the Sahara, the Magreb and West Africa come together, offers her unique brand of electro-fusion that combines reggae, Afro-pop, funk, desert blues and other world genres to the Skirball Cultural Center in West Los Angeles as part of this beloved institution’s annual summer sunset series.
