Collider Picnic Series Continues in Florence
Saturday, July 10 at 7 p.m.

Next up in the Collider Picnic Series, the Mandingo Ambassadors come to Florence Congregational Church. The Mandingo Ambassadors were founded in New York City by griot-guitarist Mamady Kouyaté in 2005. As a veteran of the great orchestras of the golden age of Guinean dance bands, Mamady is a living library of musical science inherited from his ancestors and from a half-century of experience as an arranger, bandleader, accompanist, and soloist.
