Festival International Nuits d’Afrique : Lerie Sankofa à la scène Loto-Québec

Wed 16 Jul 2025 • 05:00 pm percussions / Reggae / Slam
Scène Loto-Québec - Montréal Gratuit
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

“Percussions, danses, chants, ou ici Hand Pan (un instrument fait de cuivre et d’harmonies) : Lerie Sankofa maîtrise tous ces arts avec tant d’aisance qu’elle pourrait facilement rendre jaloux. Mais c’est surtout qu’elle laisse admiratifs ses auditeurs” (RFI, 2024). Travailleuse acharnée, elle a frappé ses premières percussions et chanté dans des chorales dès son plus jeune âge. Elle a ensuite parfait sa formation à l’Institut national des Arts et de l’Action Culturelle à Abidjan et à la célèbre école d’art du Village Ki-Yi. Dans l’afrolight de cette récipiendaire de la médaille de bronze aux Jeux de la francophonie 2023 et lauréate du prix Henriette Dagri Diabaté de la création féminine au MASA 2024, on retrouve l’enchantement des forêts et de la savane africaine, porté par son ahoko, instrument traditionnel des Baoulés, mais aussi du slam, du reggae ou encore du coupé-décalé. Avec sa voix aussi puissante que ses percussions, sa présence alliant grâce et dynamisme et ses chants en gouro, malinké et français, elle célèbre l’unité et le dialogue entre les peuples.

“Percussions, dance, singing and, here, the handpan (a harmonic metal percussive instrument): Lerie Sankofa masters all these arts with such ease that she could easily make others jealous. But most of all, she leaves her listeners in awe” (RFI, 2024). With focused determination, Lerie began drumming and singing in choirs at an early age. She went on to hone her skills at the Institut National des Arts et de l’Action Culturelle and the reputable Village Ki-Yi arts centre in Abidjan. At the 2023 Jeux de la Francophonie, she won Bronze and was the 2024 MASA winner of the “Prix Henriette Dagri Diabaté de la création feminine.” Her afrolight music, in which you can feel the magic of Africa’s forests and savannahs, features the ahoko, traditional instrument of the Baule people, combined with modern influences such as reggae, coupé-décalé, even slam and rap. With a presence as graceful as it is passionate, a voice as powerful as her drumming, Lerie sings in Guro, Malinké and French as she celebrates unity and dialogue among peoples.
