Théâtre de l'Orangerie - Kara Sylla Ka

Fulaani blues

With his soft voice, Kara Sylla Ka soaks his African roots in a bath of reggae, Fulani Blues and Afrobeat. Kara brings up other important topics: his struggle against certain traditions such as female circumcision and arranged marriages, or the importance of her homeland. His music resonates the respect for the elders, such as the spiritual figure of Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba founder of Mouridism in Senegal, or that of Cheikh Anta Diop, Senegalese scholar who has done so much to revalue the heritage of Africa and its prodigious cultural diversity.
