DJELY TAPA: SAGESSE DES GRIOTS

Mon choix VideoPick: Avec Dankoraba, Djely Tapa poursuit sa vision artistique à la croisée des cultures malienne et occidentale, passées, présentes et futures. Originaire du Mali, Djely Tapa partage le verbe empreint de sagesse et l’art vocal des griots. Son répertoire mêle traditions mandingues, blues du désert et sonorités électroniques.

My VideoPick: “… Between earth and sky, Dankoroba propels Malian traditions into an Afro-futuristic, cosmic experience. Produced in Montreal with several guests (Adama Yalomba, Vieux Farka Touré…), traditional instruments recorded in Mali (ndan, ngoni, sokou…) blend sumptuously with electronic beats. Djely Tapa’s voice expresses empowerment, hope, love and unity…”
