Born in Madagascar, raised and educated in Moscow, Donné Roberts was already a musician fluent in Malagasy, Russian, French and English by the time he arrived in Canada in 1999. His performances and recordings with the Juno winning African Guitar Summit from 2004 to 2007 gained him wider exposure and appreciation. As part of the Okavango African Orchestra, Donné was again awarded a Juno Award for World Music Album of the Year in 2017. All the while, Donné has been a busy musician, touring with his own band, and releasing multiple albums including Juno nominated “OYA!” in 2022. His growing success caught the attention of CBC Radio, who commissioned him to compose the theme music for their popular morning Sunday morning show Fresh Air.
Donné is an active collaborator with notables such as the Sultans of String, Amanda Martinez and Toronto-based Japanese singer-songwriter Kiiola, with whom he performs in the aptly named duo Baobab Cherry. Although much of Donné’s own music is written and sung in his first language, Malagasy, his versatility and natural ability to synthesize from his wide experience allow him to create music that is always dynamic, accessible and fun. Prepare yourself for a lively afternoon with Donné and his band consisting of guitar, keyboard, bass, percussion and multiple vocals.
