Grand classique du Festival, l’enchanteresse Nuit de la kora met de l’avant les humbles virtuoses de cet instrument mythique, au son cristallin, qui recèle l’histoire de l’Afrique de l’Ouest d’hier, d’aujourd’hui et de demain. « Senny Camara a la fibre pour les cordes sensibles, celles de sa voix comme celles des instruments qu’elle caresse de ses doigts » (Libération, 2024). Audacieuse et déterminée, celle qui a été formée aux conservatoires de Dakar et de Saint-Denis est l’une des rares femmes à jouer de la kora. Ancrée dans les cultures sérère, mandingue, peule et lébou, avec un œil sur l’horizon, cette autrice, compositrice et interprète explore les possibles de son instrument, alliant folk, blues et musiques sacrées, en quête d’harmonie et de liberté. Fil rouge de tous ses projets, l’exigeante kora est la complice de Yamoussa Bangoura. En formule cirque à grand déploiement avec Kalabanté ou dans des moments plus intimes comme celui proposé ce soir, il suspend le temps, ses doigts habiles glissant sur les 21 cordes de l’instrument. Nourri d’années de pratique, le jeu de cet artiste multidisciplinaire entraîne le public dans des pérégrinations ancestrales, à la découverte de l’âme de l’Afrique de l’Ouest et des élans de ses enfants.

A perennial festival favourite, the enchanting Nuit de la kora concerts showcase the understated virtuosos of this legendary instrument whose crystalline sound embodies the story of West Africa—past, present, and future. “Senny Camara knows how to strike a chord as much with her voice as with the instruments she caresses with her fingers,” (Libération, 2024). Bold and determined, this alum of the Conservatoire in Dakar and Conservatoire de St Denis is one of just a handful of female kora players. As a musician, singer and composer, her art is rooted in Serer, Mandinka, Fulani, and Lebou cultures, as she looks to new horizons on a quest for harmony and liberty while pushing musical boundaries by blending folk, blues, and sacred music. The common thread in all of Yamoussa Bangoura’s projects, the demanding kora is also his trusted companion. Whether he is playing in a large-scale circus-style production with Kalabanté or more intimate moments like here tonight, time is always suspended when Yamoussa’s fingers deftly bring his kora’s 21 strings alive. A seasoned multidisciplinary artist, he takes us on an ancient musical journey to explore the soul of West Africa and the spirit of its people.
