Nuits d’Afrique : Sona Jobarteh

Thu 20 Jul 2023 • 09:30 pm West African traditional music
Scène TD - Montréal Gratuit
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

“De son jeu virtuose émanent des mélodies fortes, scintillantes, et une énergie souvent joyeuse. (…) l’avènement d’une artiste capable de mettre un fin lustre de modernité sur la tradition ouest-africaine” (La Presse, 2022). La britano-gambienne trône au centre de la scène avec sa majestueuse kora: une image atypique, mais ô combien réjouissante et porteuse d’espoir, de voir une femme jouer avec assurance de cet instrument symbolique ; de la voir incarner la tradition et endosser pleinement son statut de griotte ; de la voir, aussi, assumer avec aplomb son envie de bousculer les conventions d’un souffle Jazz, elle qui compte des dizaines de millions de vues sur les plateformes web. Son 2e album, Badinyaa Kumoo (2022), en gestation pendant 7 ans, inclut notamment une collaboration avec Youssou N’Dour.

“From her virtuoso playing emanate strong, sparkling melodies and an often joyful energy (…) the advent of an artist capable of putting a fine sheen of modernity on West African tradition” (La Presse, 2022). The Gambian-British artist takes center stage with her majestic kora: an atypical image, but one that is full of joy and hope, to see a woman confidently play this symbolic instrument; to see her embody tradition and fully embrace her status as a griot; to see her, too, assume with aplomb her desire to shake up conventions with a breath of Jazz, she who counts tens of millions of views on web platforms. Her 2nd album, Badinyaa Kumoo (2022), 7 years in the making, includes a collaboration with Youssou N’Dour.
