LENI STERN—"Her songs bridge languages. Her CD is an eclectic collection of fused musical styles and genres. Leni Stern is all music"

“Among the most adventurous musicians of her generation"

Leni Stern has earned the most glowing reviews of her eclectic career with her Global ensemble project, 'Sa Belle Belle Ba.' iTunes Editorial raved about the album's “bewitching grooves," “sweltering rhythms" and “incantatory lyrics." Other recent press coverage has described Stern as “among the most adventurous musicians of her generation," and has noted, “Her CD is an eclectic collection of fused musical styles and genres." By showcasing multiple guest performers, highlighting indigenous instruments from Africa and elsewhere, and allowing the collaborative process to shine, Stern has delivered a complex, hard- hitting, funky, international rocker.

On September 15th, in an extraordinary example of the respect Stern has earned in Africa, she will perform at the Presidential Palace in Bamako Mali, playing n'goni with Bassekou Kouyate's n'goni orchestra.
