Le Festival Nuits d’Afrique présente Okan

Tue 19 Jul 2022 • 07:00 pm Afro-Cuban
Scène Loto-Québec - Montreal Gratuit
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

« La musique cubaine est très riche et elle a beaucoup à offrir, pas seulement de la Salsa, du Reggaeton ou de la musique traditionnelle ». Cette prémisse guide la démarche artistique d’Elizabeth Rodriguez et de Magdelys Savigne, les audacieuses fondatrices d’Okan, respectivement violoniste et percussionniste virtuoses. Afin que des genres musicaux comme les Pilón, Danzón et Música Guajira ne tombent pas dans l’oubli, que la culture afro-cubaine reste vivante, Okan sublime leur âme en y adjoignant de riches agencements aux accents antillais, africains, Flamenco, Boléro, Salsa, Jazz latin et classique. Leur dernier album, Espiral, a remporté le Juno de l’album de musique du monde 2021.

“Cuban music is very rich and it has a lot of things to offer, not only salsa, reggaeton, or traditional Cuban music.” This belief is what has guided the artistic journey of Elizabeth Rodriguez, virtuoso violinist, and Magdelys Savigne, percussionist, both founding members of Okan. To keep the Afro-Cuban culture alive and ensure that such styles as Pilón, Danzón and Música Guajira don’t fall by the wayside, they are breathing new life into these musical genres by introducing sublime arrangements that combine the rich accents of Caribbean, African, flamenco, bolero, salsa, Latin jazz and classical music. Their latest album, Espiral, won a Juno for World Music Album of the Year.

GRATUIT!
