Festival international Nuits d’Afrique : Tiken Jah Fakoly au parterre du Quartier des spectacle

Sun 19 Jul 2026 • 10:00 pm Africa / Reggae
Parterre du Quartier des spectacles - Montréal Gratuit
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

Ceux qui y étaient en parlent encore. Parmi les très, très grands moments de Nuits d’Afrique, on compte le spectacle de Tiken Jah Fakoly à l’occasion de la clôture de la 14e édition du festival en 2000, accompagné de musiciens montréalais (les meilleurs!). Ce fut le début d’une histoire d’amour réciproque avec, dit-il, « le festival ambassadeur de l’Afrique culturelle » (Radio-Canada, 2022). Chacun de ses spectacles subséquents a témoigné de la chimie entre l’artiste et son public montréalais. Il était donc tout naturel que la star internationale remette ça pour le 40e anniversaire. Doté d’une présence scénique époustouflante, le fougueux et influent reggaeman réveille les consciences, s’élève contre le pouvoir illégitime et l’injustice. Il milite pour l’unité, célèbre la richesse de l’Afrique. Sans relâche. Comme une mission qu’il s’est donnée. Et le public embarque. Parce que ça bouscule, que ça vient chercher. Parce que c’est vrai, senti et que ça résonne. Et parce que les cuivres irrésistibles, les lignes de guitares tranchantes et les riddims bien balancés donnent furieusement envie de chanter et de danser. De s’exprimer.

Those who were there are still talking about it. Among Nuits d’Afrique’s many highly memorable moments, Tiken Jah Fakoly’s closing concert of its 14th edition in the year 2000 is way up there, accompanied by Montreal musicians (they’re the best!). It marked the beginning of a mutual love affair with, as he put it, “the festival that serves as an ambassador for African culture,” (Radio-Canada, 2022). Each of his subsequent performances demonstrated the rapport between the artist and his Montreal audience. So, it is only natural for the international star to want to help celebrate the Festival’s 40th anniversary. With an astonishing stage presence, this fiery and influential reggae artist raises people’s awareness to counter illegitimate power and injustice, a self-driven mission. He advocates for unity and celebrates Africa’s diversity. Relentlessly. As if it were a mission he has set himself. The audience becomes hooked. Because he shakes things up, strikes a nerve. Because it’s true, heartfelt and resonates deeply. And because the irresistible brass, the sharp guitar riffs, and the well-balanced riddims make you desperately want to sing and dance. To express yourself.

CE SPECTACLE EST GRATUIT!
