- Summary:
- On the exciting African musical scene at the moment, musicians mix secular rhythms and electric or even electronic contributions. Captured in live streaming as part of the Bassline Fest, the television program I Am Home embodies this state of mind. The charismatic Msaki gets the party started with “Dreams,” an acoustic ballad of bewitching sweetness, before moving on to “Blood, Guns & Revolution” in an intimate atmosphere enhanced by epic percussion for a political murmur inspired by the echoes of History. Following him, in a setting as if taken from a hallucinated return to the seventies, Sampa the Great, Zambian goddess of inspired rap, delivers a live session on the theme of heritage and freedom. Moroccan singer Leila takes over with “Rgueb Rgueb” mixing North African heritage and the urgency of rock, leaving Sha Sha and his Amapiano titles “Sing it Back” and “Love Me Tonight” to close the program in style. Given last year, on the occasion of Africa Month, these various concerts are interspersed with short but varied testimonies. In this exclusively female episode, these new representatives of the pan-African scene share with us their experience of the pandemic and confinement, and their impact on the artistic process, their interaction with their audience and their experiences performing.
