Festival International Nuits d’Afrique : Orchestre Chaabi de Montréal à la scène Loto-Québec

Sun 20 Jul 2025 • 05:00 pm Chaabi / Jazz / orchestre
Scène Loto-Québec - Montréal Gratuit
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

“Ici, Alger résonne. Ici, Alger vit. Les notes, comme des plaintes déchirantes, évoquent une beauté nostalgique” (laconverse.com, 2023). Le châabi, c’est le “jazz de la casbah”. À l’opposé des musiques savantes, il ne s’écrit pas, il se transmet de maître en maître, par voie orale. Il raconte l’amitié, l’amour, les préoccupations quotidiennes. Mandole, banjo, violon, guitare, mandoline, piano, oud, derbouka, tar: depuis 2017, la vingtaine de musiciens et de choristes de l’OCM se déploie en grand, en coeur et avec coeur pour faire résonner tout l’héritage populaire arabe et kabyle d’Algérie. De El Hachemi Guerouabi à Amar Ezzahi, Dahmane El Harrach, Lounis Aït Menguellet ou encore Lounès Matoub, le répertoire de cet orchestre auquel on s’abandonne révèle la beauté de ce rythme passionné, à la croisée de la poésie maghrébine et de la musique arabo-andalouse.

“Here, Algiers resonates. Here, Algiers lives. The notes, like heartbreaking complaints, evoke nostalgic beauty” (La Converse, 2023). Chaâbi is kasbah jazz; unlike art music, it is not written down but rather passed down orally from one chaâbi master to another. It conveys friendship, love and everyday concerns. Algerian mandole, banjo, violine, guitar, mandolin, oud, tar, piano, darbouka… Since 2017, the twenty or so musicians and choir members of the Orchestre Chaâbi de Montréal (OCM) have been performing in harmony in order to share Algeria’s Arab and Kabyle folk heritage. From El Hachemi Guerouabi to Amar Ezzahi, Dahmane El Harrachi, Lounis Aït Menguellet, or Lounès Matoub, the OCM’s repertoire reveals the passion of this beautiful tradition that brings together Maghrebian poetry and Andalusi-Arabic music.

CE SPECTACLE EST GRATUIT!
