MANDING SAHEL VIBRATION avec TONTON IDRISS et BOUBÉ

A born showman with the ebullience of a radio talent show host, the charismatic Idriss le Viking Noir was the obvious choice to host this series, which celebrates the versatility, contemporary appeal and undeniable influence of Mandinka music, which Nuits d’Afrique has proudly promoted for the past 40 years. Set to groovy beats, like a slightly rebellious sage, the charming and fun-loving Idriss shares his wisdom and recounts stories about life in his resonant voice with its subtle reggae inflections.

When the devilishly playful Jab Djab’s festive reggae, infused with calypso and soca, mingles with the West Africa-flavoured reggae of the joyful Idriss le Viking Noir, Club Balattou’s walls shake with excitement and the crowd goes wild. Pure joy!
