Amadou & Mariam, whose new album, Folila, was released in the US last month via Because Music / Nonesuch Records, are the latest artists to perform in A Room for London, a riverboat lodged atop the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, with their set tonight at 6 PM GMT. The performance, is part of the Sounds from a Room series, held in A Room for London, a one-bedroom installation designed by David Kohn Architects in collaboration with Fiona Banner and situated on the roof of the Hall. It will be projected live via large screen at Queen Elizabeth Hall and will stream live online at aroomforlondon.co.uk.

A Room for London, a collaboration between Artangel and Living Architecture, in association with Southbank Centre, is also hosting artists of other disciplines invited to use the room as their studio to reflect on its place in the world in 2012 through writings, readings, performances, and more.
