Festival International Nuits d’Afrique : Femi Kuti & The Positive Force à la scène TD

Fri 18 Jul 2025 • 10:00 pm Afro Funk / Afrobeat / Jazz
Scène TD - Montréal Gratuit
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

Un “chaudron bouillonnant où l’on retrouve l’énergie et la transe qui animent le New Afrika Shrine, le club de Lagos que Femi Kuti dirige et où il se produit plusieurs fois par semaine” (RFI, 2024). Chacune des visites à Montréal de Femi Kuti & The Positive Force, six fois nominé aux Grammy Awards, est un événement qui rassemble les foules. Depuis plus de trois décennies, une douzaine d’albums et des milliers de concerts à son actif, Femi poursuit fièrement l’œuvre de son père, le légendaire Fela, en défendant sans relâche sur la scène internationale l’afrobeat qu’il a créé. Déploiement puissant de cuivres et de percussions, foisonnant, énergique, hypnotisant, urbain, porteur d’un message de paix, d’unité et de résistance, l’afrobeat allie funk et jazz aux traditionnels rythmes yorubas. Femi Kuti & The Positive Force s’amène avec son nouvel opus, Journey Through Life, sorti au printemps 2025.

A “simmering cauldron of energy and trance,” is how Femi Kuti describes New Afrika Shrine, the Lagos club that he helps runs and where he performs several times a week” (RFI, 2024). Femi Kuti & The Positive Force have racked up six Grammy Award nominations, and each time they play in Montreal they draw enthusiastic crowds. For over three decades, with a dozen albums and thousands of concerts to his credit, the artist has proudly continued the legacy of his legendary father Fela Kuti, fervently championing the afrobeat sound Fela launched on the global music stage. Rich, energetic, hypnotic and urban, afrobeat erupts in a powerful explosion of brass and percussion that combines soul, funk and jazz with traditional Yoruba music to convey a message of peace, unity and resistance. Femi Kuti & The Positive Force are back in town with their new album, Journey Through Life, released in the spring of this year.

CE SPECTACLE EST GRATUIT!
