Senegalese musician Cheikh Lô is the Spring 2016 Artist-in-Residence with the Institute of African American Affairs at New York University. With over forty years of making music fused with a variety of sounds from West and Central Africa, Lô is one of the the most well-know artists coming out of Africa. The Artist-in-Residence Program was initiated by IAAA in 1996, and has since become one of the most respected and well attended programs at New York University. The audience is particularly attracted to the interdisciplinary nature of the programs curated by the Artist-in-Residence. Cheikh Lô will have other programs during his residency.
