Concert of Colors

Hailing from Guinea, Africa, Natu Camara began her career in Ideal Black Girls, a quartet considered West Africa’s first all-female R&B / hip-hop group. Since relocating to Harlem, the balance of the Ivory Coast-born singer’s musical journey has shifted. Where once she was an African artist performing music with an American edge, now she’s a true New Yorker making original sounds steeped in Afro-Pop. She sings in English, French, and her native Susu on her solo album “Dimedi,” released in 2018. Though mostly upbeat, Camara’s work is anchored with a worldliness in the wake of her husband’s death, playing a guitar he had gifted her as a wedding present. Natu Camara is a radiant new voice from West Africa by way of New York City.
