Lionel Loueke

McPherson Theatre June 21, 2019 LIONEL LOUEKE, hails from the West African country of Benin, and his playing is a dazzling combination of African folk roots and contemporary jazz. A decade-long member of Herbie Hancock’s band, with whom he came to TD JazzFest in 2013, Loueke has been hailed by Sting as “one of the most inspiring musicians on our planet today.” These virtuosos will perform separate sets then combine forces for an unforgettable, genre-bending climax.
