Madou Sidiki Diabat\u00e9 avait \u00e0 peine trois ans la premi\u00e8re fois que ses doigts ont gliss\u00e9 sur les cordes de la noble kora. 6 ans \u00e0 son premier concert. Et 10 ans \u00e0 sa premi\u00e8re tourn\u00e9e internationale. Il faut dire que celui qu\u2019on surnomme Madou est issu d\u2019une tr\u00e8s longue lign\u00e9e de griots joueurs de kora. Lui et son fr\u00e8re, le tout aussi c\u00e9l\u00e8bre Toumani Diabat\u00e9, sont de la 71e g\u00e9n\u00e9ration. Gardien de l\u2019histoire, de la culture et des traditions mandingues (un r\u00f4le qu\u2019il prend tr\u00e8s au s\u00e9rieux), celui qui a travaill\u00e9 avec Baaba Maal et Salif Keita magnifie le potentiel infini de son instrument au son pur, faisant r\u00e9sonner avec sensibilit\u00e9 tout le charme des cultures ouest-africaines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ce soir-l\u00e0, lui et Diely Mori Tounkara, \u00e9tabli \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al et laur\u00e9at de nombreux prix dont le Syli d\u2019or de la musique du Monde et le Coup de c\u0153ur du Conseil des arts de Montr\u00e9al, feront vibrer la salle \u00e0 l\u2019unisson. Leurs jeux de kora respectifs, fluides et inspir\u00e9s, r\u00e9sultats d\u2019une grande ma\u00eetrise technique, mettront en valeur toute la magie des rythmes mandingues, guid\u00e9s par une r\u00e9elle envie d\u2019aller \u00e0 la rencontre de l\u2019autre et large sourire bienveillants en prime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was barely three years old when his fingers first slid along the chords of the noble kora, he played his first concert at the age of six and, at ten, he was already on his first international tour. It isn\u2019t surprising that Madou Sidiki Diabat\u00e9, known simply as Madou, and his equally famous brother, Toumani Diabat\u00e9, come from a long line of griot kora player\u2014in fact, they represent the 71st generation. As a guardian of Mandinka history, culture and traditions (an honour that he takes very seriously), Madou, who has played with such greats as Baaba Maal and Salif Keita, will have the opportunity to exhibit the boundless potential of his pure sounding instrument, by delicately echoing the charm and traditions of West Africa, during the special kora night, which promises to be moving and luminous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That evening, he and Diely Mori Tounkara, based in Montreal and winner of numerous awards, including the Syli d\u2019Or de la musique du monde or the Conseil des arts de Montr\u00e9al\u2019s Coup de Coeur, will make the room vibrate in unison. Their kora playing, fluid and inspired, results of a great technical mastery, will highlight all the magic of Mandingo rhythms, guided by a real desire to go and meet the other, with a wide benevolent smile as a bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
