Additional Information
Montreal-based singer-songwriter and Malian-born powerhouse Djely Tapa will make her Canadian debut at Le National on October 19. She will perform material from her new album Dankoroba, a tribute to the illustrious women of the distant past, the era of the glorious Manding empire. The set will feature special guests to flesh out the songs on this brand-new album, produced by the renowned Jean Massicotte – Pierre Lapointe, Patrick Watson, Arthur H, and others. Djely Tapa, herself a griot, updates Malian traditions, catapulting them into cosmic, Afro-futuristic and electronic dimensions. Recorded between Bamako and Montreal, the album Dankoroba is released on all platforms on Friday October 4, before which Keithy Antoine interviewed her for PAN M 360. More than just an interview, this meeting was a genuine empowerment session between two women of spirit, heart and goodwill. A must-see!
