BENKADI - THE DANCE OF THE MASKS

Les Étoiles Nuits d’Afrique Series, presented by La Fabrique Culturelle de Télé-Québec

Seeing this Syli de bronze de la musique du monde award-winning group in concert is to surrender to intense rhythmic drumming; to feel the vibrations of the beats in the deepest reaches of the soul; to experience Mandinka music in all its intensity and variations. Led by Mohamed Mara Ginola and featuring djembes, dunduns, bells, shekeres and balafons, Benkadiwhich means togetherness in the Mandinka languagehas been baring its soul since 2011, in an authentic and captivating display of colourful rhythms, exalted song and dance with acrobatic and superlative theatrics, inviting its audiences to immerse their senses in the thousand-year-old traditions of Soundiata Keita’s Malian empire.
