- Summary:
- Les Amazones d'Afrique is a group that brings Malian women together around issues such as equality and freedom. With their voices steeped in history, they spread messages through music. In 2015, these women created this collective, and two years later, they are playing at the Paris Philharmonic. Their concert takes us on a journey as they paint a scene of bright colours dressed in their sublime traditional outfits. The musicians settle down slowly, and Kandia Kouyaté - the matriarch - sits in an armchair in the middle of the stage. Rokia Koné, with her enchanting voice, sings traditional songs with the choir before Mamani Keita joins the group, singing one of her compositions and then sitting down in front of the percussion section. Before long, Babani Koné arrives in impressing dress. Her voice is dry, broken in the high notes, and marked by her experience. The women proceed to link in duos, trios, and the sounds are soothing and intoxicating in equal measure.
