Known for his musical openness (he has invited, in the past, various talents including the duo Ibeyi, daughters of the great Anga Diaz), the Cuban pianist rejoins, in the unchanging setting of the ancient theater of Vienne, the singer, bassist, and fellow Cameroonian Richard Bona. Incarnation of a certain musical elite and in particular beautiful encounters at No Format with Gérald Toto and Lokua Kanza, the latter attacks the set with the heady “O Karaka;” follows suit with the capital “Ay, Mamá Inés;” and ends this first part, in a virtuoso way, with the unifying “Gitanerias.“ A real crossover between the Caribbean and African stages, this July 2021 concert recalls, as such, the work of the project AfroCubism, at least in spirit. We feel an attraction for the essence of the rhythms perceptible in “Bilongol,” extract of the powerful Héritage, one of the last opus of Richard Bona; or even in “Que Me Digan Feo…,” a generous and sunny beach just as we like them in Havana, on the border of the famous Malecon. - Vincent Caffiaux 🎥 Watch our well-curated playlists Full CONCERTS Analogue Sessions The GREATEST HITS Legendary ARCHIVE GEMS Captivating DOCUMENTARIES Follow Qwest TV Website: Instagram: Facebook: Twitter: Qwest TV is Quincy Jones’ video streaming network celebrating Black Music & Global Sounds through premium documentaries, live concerts, archive gems and interviews showcasing the greatest musicians of all time!
