The Aga Khan Museum (AKM) announced an in-house residency from Grammy-nominated Senegalese singer, guitarist and percussionist Baaba Maal. The artist will perform as a part of the museum's Listening to Each Other programme. Maal will perform two sets in the museum's intimate 336-seat auditorium on 21 and 22 February, with his performances centring on his "Duniya Salaam" ethos, an Arabic phrase that translates to "world peace." In conversation with Metroland Media Toronto, Maal spoke about his excitement to join AKM's diverse programming, just in time for Black History Month.
