Les projets les plus r\u00e9cents de ce saltimbanque de la musique, bien connu du public montr\u00e9alais, l\u2019ont amen\u00e9 \u00e0 se reconnecter \u00e0 ses racines. Il y a d\u2019abord eu ce spectacle qu\u2019il a initi\u00e9 fin 2023 au mythique New Morning, \u00e0 Paris, en compagnie de ses cousins: un hommage bien senti \u00e0 leurs p\u00e8res, les membres du l\u00e9gendaire groupe Tour\u00e9 Kunda, qui est de ceux \u00e0 avoir propuls\u00e9 une musique ouest-africaine moderne sur la sc\u00e8ne internationale. Puis cette r\u00e9sidence d\u2019artiste dans le Fouta, en 2024, sur les rives du fleuve S\u00e9n\u00e9gal, l\u00e0 o\u00f9 il a grandi, au contact de la terre s\u00e8che des dunes roses. Il en a tir\u00e9 un premier titre, Leki, en collaboration avec de jeunes artistes de la r\u00e9gion. Plus que jamais, \u00e0 travers sa folk douce, chaude et rebelle comme le vent du d\u00e9sert, il pose un regard de globe-trotter sur les traditions musicales ouest-africaines, les pigmentant de blues, de jazz, de pop, de reggae, de funk et de soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well known to Montreal audiences, this musical marvel\u2019s latest projects have led him to reconnect with his roots. First there was the show he put on with his cousins at the famous New Morning in Paris in late 2023, a heartfelt tribute to their fathers, who founded Tour\u00e9 Kunda, the legendary band that helped to propel modern West African music onto the international stage. Then, in 2024, there was the Artist Residency in the Futa, on the banks of the Senegal River, where he grew up in proximity to the pink sand dunes. From there, he released the single \u201cLeki\u201d in collaboration with young musicians from the region. More than ever, through his folk sound, as soft, warm and rebellious as the desert wind, he casts his gaze on West African musical traditions, infusing them with blues, jazz, pop, reggae, funk and soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
