Cabarets Nuits d’Afrique - Montréal Gratuit
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

Lasso Sanou est né dans une famille de griots, dans un petit village du nord du Burkina Faso, en Afrique de l’Ouest. Il a grandi dans un environnement où la musique et les chants étaient au centre de la vie des gens. C’est ainsi qu’il découvre très vite ses grandes aptitudes à chanter et à jouer de plusieurs instruments traditionnels africains.

Il apprend d’abord les percussions (balafon, tamani, djembé, flute peul) et plus tard le kambélé n’goni. Grâce à son célèbre cousin Dramane Dembélé, Lasso découvre la flûte peule en 2004 et développe une véritable passion pour cet instrument. 

Il devient rapidement l’un des flûtistes les plus talentueux du pays. Après avoir joué pendant plusieurs années au Burkina Faso, Lasso est arrivé au Québec en 2009, où il est devenu un pilier de la scène musicale. 

Lasso crée son propre style appelé FRAMM ( Fusion Reggae Afro Mandingue Métissé). Une musique qui soigne et unit les désunis. Le groupe performe en solo, trio et band complet de 6 musiciens. Lasso collabore aussi avec plein d’autres artistes et participe dans plein de projets, comme Kuné du Conservatoire Royal de Toronto. etc…
