Théâtre Fairmount - Montréal 34,61$
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

Quand les percussions appellent, la foule répond. « Ode cérémonielle à la culture vodoun » (FIP, 2024), la musique de BIM donne naissance à un dialogue percutant entre les polyrythmies du Dahomey, du sakpata à l’egoungoun, un pop-rock afro-funk et un hip hop ramené à ses racines. Entre les chœurs puissants, les percussions rituelles, les guitares affûtées et un flow incisif, le collectif propage sans détour ni folklore une vision moderne et festive de la culture béninoise. Taillé pour la scène, applaudi jusqu’au Carnegie Hall à l’invitation d’Angélique Kidjo, BIM offrira un spectacle spécial pour le 40e anniversaire de Nuits d’Afrique, ponctué de reprises extatiques des grands standards africains des années 70 à nos jours.

When the beat calls, the crowd answers. “A ceremonial ode to vodún culture,” (FIP, 2024), BIM’s music is a striking show of Dahomey polyrhythms, Sakpata to Egungun, Afro-Funk pop rock and hip-hop brought back to its roots. With powerful harmonies, ritual percussion, edgy guitar riffs, and dynamic flow, the collective promotes, without embellishment or folkorism, a modern and festive vision of Beninese culture. Tailored for the live stage, BIM has been celebrated all the way to Carnegie Hall, where they performed at the invitation of Angélique Kidjo. For the Festival’s 40th anniversary, they are planning a special concert that will include covers of classic African hits from the 1970s to today.
