Demba Tandia : 20 Years of Music & Legacy

Demba Tandia: 20 years of Music & Legacy will be at Palladium Times Square on December 12th with special guests Djeneba Djaoune & Kany Mondial.

Demba Tandia, Franco-Mauritanian artist of Soninke heritage, is much more than a singer, he is a living ambassador of his culture.
For over two decades, he has proudly carried the traditions of the Soninke people, blending ancestral rhythms with Afro-pop, soul, jazz, and reggae influences to create a sound that is deeply rooted yet boldly modern.

Demba draws from his rich multicultural journey to craft music that is universal filled with spirituality, love, and a deep sense of identity. His warm, instantly recognizable voice has resonated across stages in Africa, Europe, and now the Americas, touching both diaspora communities and purists of traditional African music.

With powerful songs like *”Remme”*, *”Mouniou”*, and *”Seberou”*, he celebrates his ancestors, honors the griots, and tells the story of a proud, resilient, and far-traveling people. As a committed artist, Demba uses his music as a bridge between generations, continents, and between past and future.

Today, after 20 years of artistic excellence, unwavering authenticity, and creative courage, Demba Tandia is ready for a historic moment: his grand anniversary concert in New York City, the vibrant heart of the African diaspora.

On December 12, 2025, the iconic **Palladium Times Square** in Manhattan, New York will host a rare and powerful event:
DEMBA TANDIA – 20 Years of Music & Legacy.

For the first time in the United States as part of a special anniversary tour, Demba Tandia will take the stage with his full band, accompanied by dancers, choristers, and traditional musicians, delivering an unforgettable live performance filled with emotion, rhythm, and cultural pride.

This is more than a concert it is a cultural celebration, a tribute to two decades of artistic resilience and oral tradition. A night where every note honors the Soninke ancestors, and every chorus lifts the voice of Africa.

This prestigious tribute is proudly presented by Show Mondial, a pioneering artistic production agency dedicated to elevating African talent on international stages.

For over ten years, Show Mondial has been shining a spotlight on African voices creating exceptional live experiences rich in emotion, authenticity, and professionalism.

With this concert, Show Mondial reaffirms its mission to uplift underrepresented cultures, like that of the Soninke people, and to give artists the world-class platform they deserve.
