Tue 15 Jul 2025 • 08:30 pm Afro Funk / Jazz / Rock
Club Balattou - Montréal 26,62$
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

“Sa musique bouillonne. Sans additionner les genres mais dans une véritable fusion, il entrelace un funk au groove bardé de cuivres avec un discret piano cubain, pose ici une kora cristalline, là, des claviers rock, un peu plus loin, une voix altière de griotte et un flow à la mitraille assurée” (Marianne, 2022). Bien légitimement, la carrière de Sahad s’envole, lui qui a été finaliste des prix Découvertes RFI 2025. S’inspirant des grands des années 70, époque prospère où les nouveautés foisonnaient, il incarne le renouveau de la scène musicale sénégalaise. Loin des idées reçues et curieux de tout, cet as des arrangements, chanteur, compositeur et guitariste conscient, livre des morceaux engagés sur des rythmes hypnotiques conjuguant le funk, la soul, le jazz et le rock avec des intonations de mbalax et de sabar. Au moment d’écrire ces lignes, il s’apprêtait à sortir son 4e album African West Station, dont certains titres sont déjà disponibles.

“His music bubbles over. He doesn’t pile on the different genres, he creates a veritable fusion by interlacing brassy funk grooves with subtle Cuban piano, with a strand of crystalline kora here, some rock-style keyboard there, and then a little further on, magnificent griot vocals and a commanding rapid-fire tempo” (Marianne, 2022). The career of this Découvertes RFI 2025 finalist has really taken off, and rightly so. Drawing inspiration from great artists of the 1970s, a golden era of musical creativity and innovation, Sahad embodies the revival of the Senegalese music scene. Shunning preconceived notions and curious about everything, this brilliant singer-songwriter, arranger and masterful guitarist delivers compelling songs set to hypnotic rhythms that blend funk, soul, jazz and rock with mbalax and sabar overtones. At the time of writing, Sahad was preparing to release his 4th album, African West Station, from which some tracks are already available!
