Tamala

Please note: this concert takes place in the garden of the Peruchet Marionette Museum, in the open air. So bring a jumper and a mackintosh in case of cold or rain.

After many concerts at home and abroad, the band Tamala (“travellers”) is back to present their second album, Lumba.

On this album, Tamala, just like the bird in the song Ätte Picce mi, takes stock of a world where wealth is not fairly distributed, where hypocrisy rules at the expense of women, children and the weak, where the earth is being exhausted. It is time for Lumba, ‘the big day’ in Mandinka. A day when things are done differently.

Mola Sylla is one of the great singers in the tradition of the Senegalese griots. With his special vocal timbre, he makes you gasp until the very last note. He is accompanied by the virtuoso kora player Bao Sissoko and the multi-talented Wouter Vandenabeele on violin.
