Rokia Koné Touring
Wildtune has had the privilege of producing Malian artist Rokia Koné’s live show, shaping both the artistic vision and the logistical framework for her touring activities. This work spans booking and managing gigs across the UK, collaborating with co-agents such as 3D Family and Concerted Artists, and evolving her live show to create memorable experiences for audiences, as well as managing the tour production and logistics.
Comprehensive Performance Package
Beyond production and touring logistics, we offer an all-encompassing package for each performance, including audio and visual documentation of concerts, providing content for social media, promotion, and archival purposes, as well as strategic planning for collaborations between Rokia, her musicians, and other world-class artists, expanding creative possibilities and audience reach. Through meticulous perparation, artistic insight, and attention to detail, we ensure that every Rokia Koné performance is not just a concert, but a fully realised cultural event — carefully curated, beautifully documented, and positioned for long-term impact.
Touring as an acoustic trio
In October 2024, we reimagined Rokia's live show as an intimate acoustic trio format, featuring her longtime guitarist Salif Koné and Mandé percussionist Yahael Camara Onono. This arrangement allowed audiences to experience Rokia's powerful vocals in a more personal setting. These concerts showcased Rokia's versatility and deepened her connection with audiences.
Development of a festival show
Looking ahead, we have been developing a full-band touring format for festival performances, designed to showcase Rokia’s music on a larger, more dynamic scale. This ensemble premiered at the Gnaoua Festival in Essaouira, Morocco, in June 2025, bringing together traditional West African instrumentation with a rich, layered sound suitable for international festival stages. The full-band concept is aimed at festival circuits worldwide, combining artistic ambition with logistical feasibility .
