AZ63 performs on a mix of string and percussion instruments from\u00a0Burkina\u00a0Faso, the African Diaspora, and beyond. The trio’s music encompasses a wide variety of styles, from ancient Bambara songs to original compositions to improvisations inspired the various musical backgrounds of each member. Entertaining audiences is only part of AZ63’s artistic mission: Arouna, Zaza, and Sonja love to share the stories and histories of their instruments and music.
