Africa in New Orleans is a collection of songs created from the wellspring of collaboration that is composer, musician and dancer, Sidiki Conde. In 2023, The New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park invited Conde and guitarist, Wowo Souakoli, to work with New Orleans musicians engaged in the diverse genres of the city: jazz, blues, and zydeco. All genres with origins in West Africa where Conde hails from. Through this collaboration Conde felt both at home and part of a bigger global story.
