Le Festival Nuits d’Afrique présente La Nuit de la Kora avec Madou Sidiki Diabaté et Diely Mori Tounkara

Sat 16 Jul 2022 • 08:00 pm Mandingo Blues
Gesù - Montréal 35 $
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

Madou Sidiki Diabaté avait à peine trois ans la première fois que ses doigts ont glissé sur les cordes de la noble kora. 6 ans à son premier concert. Et 10 ans à sa première tournée internationale. Il faut dire que celui qu’on surnomme Madou est issu d’une très longue lignée de griots joueurs de kora. Lui et son frère, le tout aussi célèbre Toumani Diabaté, sont de la 71e génération. Gardien de l’histoire, de la culture et des traditions mandingues (un rôle qu’il prend très au sérieux), celui qui a travaillé avec Baaba Maal et Salif Keita magnifie le potentiel infini de son instrument au son pur, faisant résonner avec sensibilité tout le charme des cultures ouest-africaines.

Ce soir-là, lui et Diely Mori Tounkara, établi à Montréal et lauréat de nombreux prix  dont le Syli d’or de la musique du Monde et le Coup de cœur du Conseil des arts de Montréal,  feront vibrer la salle à l’unisson. Leurs jeux de kora respectifs, fluides et inspirés, résultats d’une grande maîtrise technique, mettront en valeur toute la magie des rythmes mandingues, guidés par une réelle envie d’aller à la rencontre de l’autre et large sourire bienveillants en prime.

He was barely three years old when his fingers first slid along the chords of the noble kora, he played his first concert at the age of six and, at ten, he was already on his first international tour. It isn’t surprising that Madou Sidiki Diabaté, known simply as Madou, and his equally famous brother, Toumani Diabaté, come from a long line of griot kora player—in fact, they represent the 71st generation. As a guardian of Mandinka history, culture and traditions (an honour that he takes very seriously), Madou, who has played with such greats as Baaba Maal and Salif Keita, will have the opportunity to exhibit the boundless potential of his pure sounding instrument, by delicately echoing the charm and traditions of West Africa, during the special kora night, which promises to be moving and luminous.

That evening, he and Diely Mori Tounkara, based in Montreal and winner of numerous awards, including the Syli d’Or de la musique du monde or the Conseil des arts de Montréal’s Coup de Coeur, will make the room vibrate in unison. Their kora playing, fluid and inspired, results of a great technical mastery, will highlight all the magic of Mandingo rhythms, guided by a real desire to go and meet the other, with a wide benevolent smile as a bonus.
