Festival international Nuits d’Afrique : Aboulaye Koné à l’esplanade Tranquille

Sun 19 Jul 2026 • 03:30 pm Africa / Mandingo Blues
Esplanade tranquille - Montréal Gratuit
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

On ne peut parler de la scène montréalaise des musiques ouest-africaines – ni célébrer le 40è de Nuits d’Afrique – sans évoquer Aboulaye Koné, un de ses représentants les plus prolifique et charismatique. Il faudra maintenant compter aussi sur ses fils! Taïrou, Lou-Gaël et Aboubacar, devenus grands et multi-instrumentistes talentueux. Une histoire de famille finalement assez logique quand on appartient à la caste des griots et qu’on perpétue la tradition de génération en génération! Ensemble, ils sèment les graines du baobab partout où ils passent, faisant la promotion des traditions mandingues, de leurs profondes racines, de la richesse de leurs coutumes, de la sagesse de leurs enseignements, auprès de tous les publics, jeunes et moins jeunes. Percussions, guitare mandingue, Koné Kan met sa virtuosité au service de son impressionnant héritage musical.

It would be impossible to describe Montreal’s West African music scene—or celebrate the 40th anniversary of Nuits d’Afrique—without talking about Aboulaye Koné, one of its most prolific and charismatic figures. Now we can add his sons to the list as well! Having matured into talented multi-instrumentalists in their own right, Taïrou, Lou-Gaël and Aboubacar. A perfectly natural thing to do when you belong to the griot tradition of carrying on the legacy from one generation to the next! Together, they sow the seeds of the baobab tree wherever they go, sharing Mandinka traditions, their deep roots, the richness of their customs and the wisdom of their teachings to audiences of all ages. With percussion and Mandinka guitar, Koné Kan puts its virtuosity at the service of its impressive musical heritage.

CE SPECTACLE EST GRATUIT!
