Just returning from a brand new production in Morocco, Momo Loudiyi is a world performing artist, producer and singer/songwriter whose music ties together many cultures and expressions into a multi-dimensional celebration of life. MoMo enchants many hearts with his openness in musical expression and his musical versatility that dissolves all boundaries of genre. His live show is a soaring blend of uplifting Moroccan rhythms, entrancing melodies and contemporary sonic layers. With his exotic voice and delicate playing of the Moroccan Sintir he evokes his Ancestors with electric, highly danceable rhythms. A show of MoMo's is medicine for your soul!
Momo's musical ambitions led him to tour and collaborate with major artists in such venues as the Hollywood Bowl, UCLA Royce Hall, the Beacon Theater, New York Symphony Space, Le Lido and UNESCO. In 2008 his musical expansion brought him back full circle to the sacred Sufi Hamadcha brotherhood of Fes, Morocco. After this came the release of his successful debut album Loud Oasis. It is a colorful explosion of sounds from around the world and an exquisite introduction to some of his numerous forms of artistic expression. The recording unites a lifetime of musical influences in the unique world music fusion style of Moroccan Roll. Loud Oasis features more than 40 world-class musicians and is available at major online retailers including iTunes and Amazon, and at www.momoloudiyi.com.
Don't miss this extraordinary show. Buy tickets early. Pre-sale tickets and discounted CDs are available here until May 4th at noon. Tickets will be $15 at the door. All tickets benefit the musicians and the museum.
