Friday 14th March – 6pm – free entrance.In the streets of Burkina Faso, "ka nana ye", means "It's not easy", while implying that it will be okay. The album Kananayé follows this popular philosophy. Clotilde Rullaud, Abdoulaye Traoré, Achille Nacoulma, Seydou Diabaté and Boubacar Djiga, the authors of Kananayé, are involved in this misison.
The Franco-Burkinabe project was born in Bobo-Dioulasso in 2019, on the occasion of the "Badara Festival", organized by the musician Koto Brawa who advocates a mutual enrichment of the national and foreign artists. The singer and flutist Clotilde Rullaud, from France, is invited. Long submerged in the New York jazz, she is eager for experiments and she is passionate about West African music from the oral tradition. It is the beginning of a wider project with Burkina Faso musicians (percussions, guitar), which will lead to a residence and a series a concerts in 2022.
The group is fundamentally militant, since its five members proclaim their multiculturalism and celebrate the beauty of crossbreeding. They also claim the Freedom for artists from all over the world to move, meet and create.
For this tour in Zimbabwe (Harare, Bulawayo), the members of Kananayé will perform and collaborate with two local artists, Lewis Ndlovu (Drums of Peace) and Adrian LeJazz.
