Noura Mint Seymali at Square Roots Fest

Noura Mint Seymali, one of Mauritania’s musical stars, came to Chicago for two concerts over the past week: June 11 at the Square Roots Fest in Lincoln Square and June 14 at Millennium Park. I caught her set at Square Roots; her voice was beautiful to behold, and so was the sound of her instrument, the ardine, which is a sort of harp. (Read Aaron Cohen’s article about Noura Mint Seymali for the Chicago Tribune.)

New Zealand musician Liam Finn played Friday (July 11) at the Square Roots Fest in Lincoln Square, a few hours after playing at Laurie’s Planet of Sound. At the record store, Finn remarked that he was having so much fun that he should play there every week.
