Si vous demandez à renforshort quel genre de musique elle fait, sa réponse pourrait vous surprendre. Bizarre de goût, dira-t-elle. Et pourtant, aucun descripteur ne serait mieux adapté pour caractériser la marque personnelle de l’énigmatique pop star montante d’une pop alternative de centre-gauche profondément réfléchie, mais indéniablement relatable.
If you ask renforshort what kind of music she makes, her response may surprise you. “Tastefully weird,” she’ll say. And yet, no descriptor would be better suited to characterize the enigmatic rising pop star’s personal brand of deeply reflective, yet undeniably relatable, left-of-center alt-pop.

Après son passage très remarqué en 2018 sur la grande scène du Festival International Nuits d’Afrique, FLAVIA COELHO revient pour un Sound System exceptionnel.
Flavia a parcouru tous les chemins du monde, depuis les morros de Rio de Janeiro aux rues pavés de Paris. Sur son dernier album DNA, tout comme sur scène, elle y déploie son être et déplie son âme !
Dans la tradition des soundsystems Jamaïcains qui ont bercé son enfance dans le Nordeste du Brésil, Flavia balancera ses flows sur des riddims originaux, remix et classics, du Roots Reggae à la Cumbia en passant par des sonorités plus electro. Un rayon de soleil, une invitation à la danse !
Ces horizons lointains ont nourri DNA – l’album à la fois le plus personnel et le plus universel de Flavia Coelho. Enregistré entre le Quartier Latin et le Var, les deux studios de Victor Vagh-Weinmann, il brille par son hybridité musicale.
Le baile funk y croise la trap et les musiques caribéennes, la cumbia y est réinventée, le hip hop épouse le reggae, l’Orchestre de chambre de Paris passe dans les parages… Le tout porté par une impressionnante volonté pop. « La musique populaire, c’est le peuple, et je suis une femme du peuple », résume Flavia.
Ici, elle confirme son engagement viscéral sur des mélodies aussi entraînantes que les rythmiques. « C’est très sud-américain de chanter des choses très sombres sur de la musique festive », rappelle-t-elle.
Face aux méandres de l’actualité politique brésilienne, la parole de la plus française des chanteuses brésiliennes s’est libérée. Et toujours en portugais, sa langue maternelle.
After her highly acclaimed performance in 2018 on the main stage of the Festival International Nuits d’Afrique, FLAVIA COELHO returns for an exceptional Sound System.
Flavia has traveled all over the world, from the morros of Rio de Janeiro to the cobblestone streets of Paris. On her latest album DNA, just like on stage, she unfolds her being and her soul!
In the tradition of the Jamaican soundsystems which rocked her childhood in the North-East of Brazil, Flavia will swing her flows on original riddims, remixes and classics, from Roots Reggae to Cumbia through more electro sounds. A ray of sunshine, an invitation to dance!
These distant horizons have nourished DNA – Flavia Coelho’s most personal and universal album. Recorded between the Latin Quarter and the Var, Victor Vagh-Weinmann’s two studios, it shines by its musical hybridity.
The baile funk crosses the trap and the Caribbean music, the cumbia is reinvented, the hip hop marries the reggae, the Orchestre de chambre de Paris passes by… All carried by an impressive pop will. “Popular music is the people, and I am a woman of the people,” says Flavia.
Here, she confirms her visceral commitment on melodies as catchy as the rhythms. “It is very South American to sing very dark things on festive music,” she recalls.
Faced with the meanders of Brazilian political news, the most French of Brazilian singers has freed her voice. And always in Portuguese, her mother tongue.
Festival Nuits d’Afrique presents Poirier with Juju le Moko & Empress Cissy Low

« J’ai toujours vu la musique, et encore plus la mienne, comme un pont entre les cultures et les communautés » (Métro, 2020). Autant son dernier album, Soft Power, sorti en juin 2020, mise sur un son planétaire, autant, par ses multiples collaborations, il surfe sur l’identité montréalaise, les origines multiples de ses artistes, sa cohésion sociale exceptionnelle. Fil conducteur qui relie avec minutie les rythmes du Brésil à ceux du Mozambique, ceux d’Haïti à ceux de la Mauritanie, ceux du Mexique à ceux de la Jamaïque, l’électro pop du producteur et DJ est festive, énergisante et porteuse d’espoir.
“I’ve always thought of music, especially my own, as be a bridge between cultures and communities” (Journal Métro, 2020). In the same way that his latest album, Soft Power, released in 2020, encapsulates a world of sound, this musician-producer-DJ continually draws on Montreal’s character, the diverse origins of its artist and its extraordinary social cohesiveness. His electropop acts as a thread connecting different rhythmic styles, Brazilian to Mozambican, Haitian to Mauritanian, Mexican to Jamaican, creating a music that is festive, energizing and full of optimism.
Le Festival International Nuits d’Afrique présente Ifriqiyya Électrique
by Rédaction PAN M 360
« La transe, la vraie, est au cœur de l’expérience Ifriqiyya Electrique, comme un écho millénaire à l’origine sacrée de tous les arts premiers » (FIP). François R. Cambuzat a vécu plusieurs vies, joué avec Dizzy Gillepsie à New York et interviewé Iggy Pop, avant de débuter de nouvelles aventures. Gianna Greco, rebelle, avide de liberté, de justice et d’authenticité, fugitive elle aussi, l’a croisé dans son autre part. Ensemble, genre de Beat Generation 2.0, ils décochent un son électro tout terrain, rugueux et chaotique. Brut, vrai et exaltant. Un son extrême, comprimé entre les rituels d’Afrique du Nord et les basses impudiques, qui, prêt à exploser, confronte, étourdit et soigne les esprits.
“Trance, the real deal, is at the heart of the Ifriqiyya Electrique experience, like an echo stretching back a thousand years to the sacred source of all primitive arts,” (FIP). François R. Cambuzat has had a few incarnations, including as a young musician playing with Dizzy Gillespie in New York and a budding journalist interviewing Iggy Pop, which have always led him to new adventures. Gianna Greco, a rebel hungry for freedom, justice and authenticity, and also a fugitive of another time when she met Cambuzat. Together, creating a kind of Beat Generation 2.0, they fire off their all-out electro—raw, authentic and exuberant. Hovering between North African ritual and brazen bass sounds, this intensity, always ready to erupt, confronts, stuns and heals the spirit.
Ghetto Kumbé c’est un combo de sorciers chanteurs et percussionnistes qui convoquent les publics du monde entier et les esprits paiens de la rumba digitale et consciente. Impossible de résister à leur rituel de danse-transe. En cause, un élixir puissant à base de percussions, de beats électro caribéens, de rythmes traditionnels ouest africains et afro-colombiens, le tout gorgé d’Afro House.
Avec ses sonorités musicales africaines et de la côte caraïbe colombienne comme la Gaita, les voix mystiques, les grandes variétés de percussions et de rythmes traditionnels, mêlés à une élégante production électronique Tech/House, Ghetto Kumbé crée un paysage sonore afro-futuriste dynamique, engagé et inspirant.
Ghetto Kumbé is a combo of singing and percussionist wizards who summon audiences around the world and the pagan spirits of digital and conscious rumba. Impossible to resist their dance-trance ritual. It’s a powerful elixir of percussion, Caribbean electro beats, traditional West African and Afro-Colombian rhythms, and Afro House.
With African and Colombian Caribbean sounds such as Gaita, mystical vocals, wide varieties of percussion and traditional rhythms, mixed with elegant Tech/House electronic production, Ghetto Kumbé creates an dynamic, engaging and inspiring Afro-futuristic soundscape.
From New York, Elliot Moss is both a visual artist and songwriter. The sweet melodies carried by his high-pitched, ashen voice, sometimes filtered by Auto-Tune (reminiscent of James Blake at times), blend into a housey, jazzy soul-synthpop, adorned with a few instruments played in real time — at least in the studio. Obviously, Moss knows the virtues of a songwriting hook, and moreover he knows how to deftly shift moods from one song to another. He also knows how to make good use of modular synthesizers, to fluff things up a bit. Following the gems he’s scattered to date, what‘s next for Moss? This Montreal concert should give us a few clues… In the same spirit, the very talented Laura Derover offers delicate synthpop, a little more complex than Moss’s, mixed with jazz and chamber music from the classical tradition. Listen carefully to this Dutch singer, who could turn out to be a discovery of 2020.
L’Au-Delà, released at the beginning of January, is the second album from Double Date With Death, with a cover designed by none other than Elzo Durt, one of the masters of psychedelic visuals in recent years. The band doesn’t even hide it, it’s clearly influenced by Californian psychedelic garage rock (think Thee Oh Sees or Ty Segall, to name only the most famous). In this case, however, the Montreal band has chosen to express itself in French. The album, recorded, produced and mixed by Guillaume Chiasson (Ponctuation, Jesuslesfilles), is divided into eight short tracks just psychedelic enough to take us on a journey to the beyond.
Samy Ben Redjeb is the founder of the Analog Africa label, based in Frankfurt, Germany. A true archeologist of musical treasures, he travels in South America and Africa to unearth tropical sounds, Afrobeat, cumbia and salsa from the 1960s and 1970s. The result of all this work is a panoply of compilations of totally unheard, groovy and catchy sounds. He’ll be sharing his gems when he hits Montreal for the first time, to the delight of ears in search of exotic discoveries.
