About this Event
Doors at 8PM, Show at 9PM
Show Description
Under the gentle light of the evening, the strings of the kora will tell stories of the Manding lands — tales of peace, memory, and the beauty of tradition. Siakaba Diabaté invites you to an intimate musical journey where ancient rhythms meet soulful melodies. Through the sound of the kora, he bridges past and present, inviting listeners to feel the heartbeat of West Africa. The Art House Café becomes, for one night, a place of connection — where music speaks a universal language of emotion and spirit. Come share this moment of warmth, culture, and authenticity — a true Night of the Kora.
Bios
une famille de griots à Orodara, Siaka Diabaté a commencé son parcours musical en jouant du balafon sous la direction de son père. En 2008, il a déménagé à Ouagadougou et a travaillé au Village Artisanal, où il a découvert de nouveaux genres musicaux et instruments. La kora est devenue sa compagne de vie. Ses premières collaborations artistiques ont débuté en 2011 et l'ont amené sur les scènes du Burkina Faso et d'ailleurs. Depuis 2022, résidant à Ottawa, au Canada, Siaka continue d'enrichir la scène musicale locale de son talent éclectique, en combinant les traditions africaines avec de nouvelles expériences musicales, créant ainsi une harmonie unique et captivante.
