Club Balattou - Montréal 21,49$
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

“Avec ses djembés, dunduns, cloches, tchekeres, balafons, il est bien connu des amateurs montréalais de rythmes mandingues traditionnels en tant que leader du groupe Benkadi, qui se produit dans la métropole depuis 2011. Mais Mohamed Mara, dit Ginola Lélé, maîtrise tout autant, avec l’authenticité qui le caractérise, les déclinaisons musicales contemporaines de ce qui fut l’empire de Soundiata Keita. Chef d’orchestre de cette soirée sous le signe des cultures ouest-africaines, celui qui a été formé à la danse et aux percussions auprès de plusieurs grands maîtres et au sein de compagnies de renom, comme le Ballet de Matam, réserve au public un spectacle de haut vol, pétulant et plein de surprises, qui traversera les époques et transcendera les genres.

“Local fans of traditional Mandinka music are already familiar with this talented artist from his group Benkadi, which has been captivating Montreal audiences with its djembes, dunduns, bells, shekeres and balafons since 2011. But Mohamed Mara, aka Ginola Lélé, is just as accomplished and no less authentic with his modern approach to rhythms inspired by the Sundiata Keita empire. As a dancer and percussionist, he trained with several great masters and distinguished companies including the Ballet de Matam, but this summer, Ginola Lélé will be assuming the mantle of master of ceremonies for this special Rendez-vous evening devoted to West African cultures. Transcending the centuries and genres, the vibrant, high-flying show he has in store for festivalgoers promises to be full of surprises!
