Metropole Orkest & Ntjam Rosie

Singer Ntjam Rosie and the Metropole Orchestra take you on a musical journey through the African continent. During this concert, they honor the most beautiful African voices and put iconic female artists in the spotlight.

During 'Ntjam Rosie & Metropole Orkest salute African Queens', the groundbreaking singers Miriam Makeba, Angélique Kidjo, Césaria Évora and Oumou Sangaré are honored, but this ode goes beyond the greats we all know.

Discover the impressive story of Abeti from Congo, a forgotten star with an international career, and Kahdja Nin from Burundi, who decided to leave the music industry despite her success.

Admire the inspiring sounds of Sona Jobarteh from Gambia, not only a talented singer, but also a dedicated philanthropist. Remember Sara Tavares, the Portuguese star with Cape Verdean roots, and celebrate the legacy of the duo Les Nubians, who paved the way for new generations.

This musical journey ultimately brings us to the present, with rising stars Libianca, Yseult, Tems and Ayra Starr. Each and every one of them special women who continue and enrich the legacy of their predecessors.
