Description

Heralded as the “Tina Turner of Guinea,” singer and songwriter Natu Camara has established herself as an impassioned performer whose commitment to social justice has solidified her unique presence in global music. Camara is one of its brightest musical stars and a committed activist for the empowerment and education of girls and women in west Africa. A Guinean native, Camara mixes West African soul, rock, and pop music. As a builder of inter-cultural bridges, she uses her songs to bring people together, weaving a tapestry of musical stories and visions of her beloved home. Natu’s foundation, DIMEDI (“Child”), supports local organizations to mentor and empower young girls and support education as a tool to reduce poverty in Guinea. She finds a way to speak to the silent minority through her music. The foundation is quickly garnering support from the Guinea government, and the US Embassy in Guinea. This performance is produced by Columbia Festival of the Arts and features a fully curated food and drink menu by Seasons 52. Visit LakefrontLive.org for a full schedule of events.
