During Unwind in the City, Broadworks is hosting live performances from musicians across the City of London! Abdoulaye Samb will be taking over The Garden at 120, 1-2pm.

Abdoulaye Samb is a guitarist, singer and composer. His original music is inspired by Fula and Mandinka cultures and his distinctive musical style has grown out of his travels, collaborations and researches in Africa and Europe.

Originally from Senegal, Abdoulaye Samb was inspired by his brother who was a musician. In his early twenties, Abdoulaye had the opportunity to work in a builders merchant in the village of Yene by the sea. There, he was influenced by the beautiful scenery and the surroundings.  As he was listening to a variety of music on the radio, one day he decided to create his own sound. Using the tools and materials available in the shop, he managed to make his own guitar with fishing rods and a petrol can.  Since then, the guitar became his favourite instrument. He then went back to Dakar where he was taught by Mamaya, a griot from the Cissoko family.

These events are free to attend, but The Garden at 120 recommend that groups over 12 book their entrance time.

You can find and RSVP for the programme's events in our Unwind in the City Collection.
