Festival Au Fil Des Voix at Alhambra

An inexhaustible traveller, El Gato Negro stopped off in Dakar to record Tigre Qui Pleure, accompanied by a fine team of artists he has met on the road over the last 15 years. A blend of musicians from West Africa and Cuba, under the feline's Colombian flute, jazz mingles with hip-hop, traditional with digital, French with Wolof and Spanish, under the watchful ear of producer Guts. The beast of the stage sets off on the road again in 2024 with a Burkinabe griot, a Franco-Congolese rapper, a master of Latin percussion and a suitcase of electronic machines, to pass on the legend of the Tiger who mourns the departure of his brother Cayman, who has left the dry river; he mourns because he knows that he too is on the brink of extinction....

An inexhaustible traveller, El Gato Negro stopped off in Dakar to record Tigre Qui Pleure, accompanied by a fine team of artists he has met on the road over the last 15 years. A blend of musicians from West Africa and Cuba, under the feline's Colombian flute, jazz mingles with hip-hop, traditional with digital, French with Wolof and Spanish, under the watchful ear of producer Guts. The beast of the stage sets off on the road again in 2024 with a Burkinabe griot, a Franco-Congolese rapper, a master of Latin percussion and a suitcase of electronic machines, to pass on the legend of the Tiger who mourns the departure of his brother Cayman, who has left the dry river; he mourns because he knows that he too is on the brink of extinction.

Inépuisable voyageur, c’est à Dakar que s’est arrêté El Gato Negro pour enregistrer Tigre Qui Pleure, accompagné d’une fine équipe d’artistes rencontrés sur les routes depuis plus de 15 ans. Brassage de musiciens d’Afrique de l’Ouest et de Cuba, sous la flûte colombienne du félin, le jazz se mêle au hip-hop, le traditionnel au digital, le français au wolof et à l’espagnol, sous l’oreille avertie du producteur Guts. La bête de scène repart sur les routes en 2024 avec un griot burkinabé, une rappeuse franco-congolaise, un maître des percussions latines et une valise de machines électroniques, pour transmettre la légende du Tigre qui pleure le départ de son frère Cayman qui a quitté la rivière asséchée ; il pleure car il sait qu’il est en voie de disparition, lui aussi.
