Magic Malik - Banlieues Bleues
MAGIC MALIK KAFROBEAT invites SANDRA NKAKÉ, GASTON BANDIMIC; Pantin, La Dynamo, April 20th, 2022; Magic Malik and his new crew have found their Africa-Oasis, made of melodies, rhythms and unheard-of songs. The project and the record are called Kafrobeat, in reference to the Guadeloupean Ka and the Afrobeat of Fela. The flutist-composer and eternal experimenter brought together nine talented musicians to set up a musical writing process in line with an oral tradition, with a precise aesthetic goal: to go in search of this link to Africa, whether it is personal, cultural or musical. The experience proved to be fascinating, creating a totally new music and a group with a formidable rhythmic and melodic coherence. And if several first-rate voices are invited to the affair - Sandra Nkaké, the Senegalese rapper Gaston Bandimic - it is also the first time that Malik assumes himself as a singer, with his voice with magical flights. Magic Malik voice, flute, Olivier Laisney trumpet, Maciek Lasserre saxophones, Mailys Maronne keyboards, Oscar Emch guitar, Mathilda Haynes guitar, Jean-René Zapha bass, Maxime Zampieri drums, David Mirandon percussion, Isabel Gonzalez voice, Valerie Belinga voice, Guests: Sandra Nkaké voice, Gaston Bandimic voice, rap, Julien Reyboz sound system; Directed by Guillaume Dero 05.11.2022 1264318_1 (52 min)
