The Light House Cinema in Smithfield, Dublin will be showing Dambé - The Mali Project on a limited, exclusive basis beginning on Friday, July 25. The film is a documentary that follows well-known Irish musicians Liam Ó Maonlaí (Hothouse Flowers) and Paddy Keenan (uilleann pipes) as they travel through Mali in search of musical inspiration. The journey takes them on a 3,000 mile trip that culminates in a live performance at one of the world’s remotest music festivals, Le Festival au Desert.
The reason for mentioning the film at this stage is that there is a special advance viewing at 7pm on Thursday July 24. This screening will include a Q&A session with both the director and the producer of the film, as well as music from Ó Maonlaí, Keenan, and Malian musician Afel Bocoum.
Tickets for this one-off event can be purchased here.
