Now one of West Africa's most internationally acclaimed musicians, Baaba Maal trained at a Paris conservatoire and went on to become a kind of musical ambassador, taking stories of his homeland all around the world. He has collaborated with Brian Eno and film composer Hans Zimmer, recorded an album with Mumford and Sons, and was a key member of the Africa Express touring project led by Damon Albarn. A festival favourite, Baaba Maal has energized crowds at Glastonbury and the BBC Proms alike. More recently, Marvel fans know him as the voice of Wakanda, having sung on the Black Panther movie soundtracks. Baaba Maal talks about his early life in Senegal where, as the son of a fisherman, he wasn't expected to become a singer. He discusses the role of the griot in Senegalese storytelling and musical culture. He recalls early song-gathering trips around West Africa with his friend and collaborator Mansour Seck, his formal musical training in Paris, the powerful voice of Senegalese singer Sory Kandia Kouyaté, and meeting Nelson Mandela.

Some time ago, Malian singer, songwriter, guitarist and actress Fatoumata Diawara did a wonderful and daring thing – inspired by her friend Rokia Traoré, she bought an acoustic guitar, and taught herself to play it. Since then, Fatoumata has put out her debut record, Fatou, collaborated with Damon Albarn's Africa Express, and contributed vocals to albums by Cheikh Lô, AfroCubism, and Orchestra Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou. Her 2018 record, Fenfo translates as “Something to Say”, and she plays some of those songs, in-studio. (Archives.) Watch Fatoumata Diawara perform "Fenfo" in-studio:   Fatoumata Diawara: "Don do" | In Studio:    This video for the album's first single “Nterini,” was directed by Ethiopian photographer and contemporary artist Aïda Muluneh, and filmed in the remote Afar region of Ethiopia, to which archaeologists have traced the origin of humanity.

Seule la République Démocratique du Congo réunit Céline Banza et Jupiter Bokondji. Chacun dans son histoire musicale représente un autre Congo. Nous les avons rencontrés dans les bureaux de Youssoupha, Bomayé Music Africaoù Céline Banza a décidé de poursuivre l'aventure avec son 1er album Praefatio (c'est du latin, référence Cicéron). De son côté, le Général Rebelle présente le nouvel album Na Kozonga chez Zamora Prod.   Na kozonga : Je rentre chez moi. C'est le souhait de Jupiter, et le titre de son troisième album. Après Hôtel Univers et Kin Sonic, "le Général Rebelle" et son groupe Okwess ont fait le tour du monde et fait entendre le son le plus rock jamais sorti du Congo ! Ce grand pays, scandale musical autant que géologique, est un réservoir inépuisable de rythmes et de sons dans lesquels puisent avec bonheur Jupiter et ses musiciens. De l'énergie pour les pieds, et de la nourriture (okwess) pour l'âme.  Le tout porté avec énergie par un chef d'orchestre dont la silhouette longiligne et le verbe parabolique auraient fait pâlir d'envie les sculptures de Giacometti. Et bien voilà, cette fabuleuse troupe n'a qu'une envie, rentrer au Congo. Car c'est à Kinshasa que Jupiter trouve son inspiration et qu'il eut, jeune homme, la révélation.   Nous sommes à la fin des années 70, et il revient d'un long séjour à Berlin Est où son  père était diplomate. Là-bas, il franchissait le fameux mur matin et soir pour aller en  classe à Berlin Ouest. Il se jouait déjà des frontières, et aimait écouter James Brown et les Jackson Five ou encore, quand son père montait le son, les tubes de Claude  François. De toute façon, l'éclectisme ne lui a jamais fait peur. C'est d'ailleurs à l'est du rideau de fer qu'il forme son premier groupe : die Neger (les Nègres). "Neger", un des premiers mots qu'il apprit en croisant les petits Allemands qui, dans la rue, le  montraient du doigt. Ses "Nègres" à lui, recrutés parmi les enfants de diplomates, sont Belges, Cambodgiens, Gabonais, Espagnols et jouent pour s'amuser avec des instruments de fortune. Déjà, il avait une certitude : le monde nous appartient tous.  Il en tirera, près de trente ans plus tard, The world is my land, une des chansons de son premier album. Mais n'anticipons pas.   Il a 17 ans, et rentre à Kinshasa. Dans ce bain chaud saturé de sons, il est happé par les musiques traditionnelles d'une capitale où toutes les ethnies du pays se retrouvent  ("pas moins de 450 !", rappelle-t-il). Un trésor que les stars de la chanson congolaise exploitent peu, s'adonnant surtout à la populaire rumba. Pourtant, il trouve dans ces rythmes importés du village une étrange familiarité avec les musiques occidentales découvertes en Allemagne, mais à l'état brut. Comme si le rock, la soul, le funk provenaient toutes d'une même racine, d'une même source : son Congo. Sa grand-mère guérisseuse, qui l'emmenait sur son dos dans les cérémonies, lui a laissé un tambour : il s'y adonne assidûment, et joue dans les veillées funèbres où, en Afrique, la musique s'invite avant tout le monde. Puis il forme ses premiers groupes, et doucement mais sûrement, forge son identité singulière. Un son unique, différent de tout ce qui sort d'un pays que les rois de la rumba écrasent de tout leur poids. Il lui faudra du temps pour l'imposer. Mais il y croit dur comme fer, quand il rencontre Florent de la Tullaye et Renaud Barret qui, en 2007, lui consacrent un magnifique documentaire : la danse de Jupiter.   Quelques temps plus tard, on voit sa longue silhouette arpenter pour la première fois les scènes françaises, et, sous la houlette de Marc-Antoine Moreau, son premier disque paraître. L'étoile de Jupiter se met à briller, d'autant que Damon Albarn, le génial cerveau de Blur et Gorillaz, l'invite sur son disque Kinshasa One-Two, puis l'embarque sur la tournée Africa Express dans un train qui traverse l'Angleterre. Jupiter et Okwess feront bientôt la première partie des concerts de Blur. De l'Angleterre au Mexique en passant par le Japon, la Nouvelle-Zélande et la France, ils laissent derrière eux, comme une traînée de poudre, le souvenir de leurs shows explosifs. Depuis, ils n'en finissent plus de faire le tour du monde, à s'en donner le tournis. Ce nouvel album est le fruit de tous ces voyages. On y retrouve en invités la fabuleuse section de cuivres du Preservation Hall Jazz Band, rencontrée dans un bœuf en marge du festival de jazz de la Nouvelle Orléans, le pionnier du rap brésilien Marcelo D2, ou la chanteuse américaine Maiya Sykes dont la voix soul n'a rien à envier à celle d'Alicia Keys. Autant de rencontres qui font souvent naviguer Na kozonga vers les rivages américains, où la sombre histoire de l'esclavage a accouché de lumineuses musiques. En Amérique latine, Jupiter a été adopté. Ses concerts reçoivent un accueil délirant du Mexique au Brésil en passant par la Colombie.   C'est aussi dans la ville la plus latine des États-Unis que Na Kozonga a été enregistré. Chez Mario Caldato, réalisateur plutôt versé dans l'épure hip-hop, mais qui sait – en bon brésilien – jongler avec les rythmes sophistiqués. Et respecter l'énergie d'Okwess, que les années de concert ont rendue incandescente. François Gouverneur, qui a co-réalisé l'album, a veillé à ce juste équilibre du son, qui porte tout autant les mots d'ordre positifs (On peut faire mieux que ça), les réflexions sur les complexes issus de la colonisation (You sold me a dream, avec la chanteuse et militante chilienne Ana Tijoux), les fables de la jungle urbaine (Jim Kata) ou celles de la forêt (Izabella). Dans ce furieux foisonnement où explosent les guitares, se détachent des moments de douceur où la voix du de Jupiter se fait intime, consolatrice, pour pleurer les amis chers (Marco, en hommage à Marc-Antoine Moreau qui fut son manageur), ou encore dans une samba lente (Sava Sarava, avec le carioca Rogê) qu'épousent à merveille les chœurs délicats de la rumba congolaise. Ouvert à tous les vents, à tous les voyages, et aux musiciens d'Okwess qui ont écrit et composé certains des morceaux, Na kozonga porte absolument toutes les qualités de Jupiter  ("mon empreinte digitale", aime-t-il à dire). À ceux qui craignent que l'identité se perde dans le mélange, il prouve le contraire. Rien d'étonnant, quand on est partout chez soi.   Quant à la chanson dont l'album porte le nom, son refrain vous rappellera sans doute quelque chose. Elle fait partie de celles que Jupiter écoutait en Allemagne, sur un disque de Boney M. Elle est en fait allemande (Nighttrain, d'Hallo Bimmel bahn) mais s'épanouit ici dans des habits congolais. Le rock revient à sa source. Et de même que tous les humains ont des ancêtres africains, Jupiter en est persuadé, toutes les musiques ont aussi des ancêtres en Afrique. Voilà pourquoi il aime rentrer chez lui. Na kozonga. - Et à lire sur RFI Musique  - Papier des Inrocks sur Marc-Antoine Moreau.      Puis, arrivée de Céline Banza qui présente son 1er album Praefatio Lauréate du Prix Découvertes RFI en 2019, Céline Banza ne devait pas arrêter de croire, elle ne devait pas cesser de rêver. "Cet art qui devait la détruire, l'a plutôt gardée en vie". Aujourd'hui, elle est là, avec sa musique et sa guitare; bien qu'elle aurait aimé jouer avec celle que son défunt père lui avait offerte, il y a 15 ans. C'est avec ces souvenirs qu'elle dessine désormais sa vie, qu'elle a travaillé sur cet album, la préface de sa carrière.  Il s'agit là, d'un album d'une grande musicalité, tant les accompagnements ne volent en aucun cas la vedette, ni à l'interprète, ni à ses mélodies mélancoliques ; ses études en ethnomusicologie ont impulsé positivement sa créativité. En outre, elle a fait le choix de mettre en avant sa culture et son identité, en chantant dans sa langue maternelle, le Ngbandi. C'est la préface musicale de Céline.

Le collectif devait se produire au Big In Jazz Festival, le 16 août 2021, mais tout est reporté en octobre (à confirmer) en raison de la pandémie. L'histoire : Le 16 août 2020, débutait le 1er jour de résidence du Big in Jazz Collective. Ces 8 musiciens exceptionnels (Maher Beauroy, Sonny Troupé, Tilo Bertholo, Yann Négrit, Ludovic Louis, Ralph Lavital, Jowee Omicil, Stéphane Castry) allaient évoluer pendant 7 jours au sein de la Villa Chanteclerc à Fort-de-France pour réaliser un travail d'expérimentation artistique original à partir de standards du Jazz et de la musique antillaise, complétés par la revisite d'une œuvre internationale et d'une composition originale. Le 25 août 2020, le Big in Jazz Collective présentait à un public restreint et privilégié, le fruit d'un travail de résidence intense et exaltant. Un véritable moment d'émotion et de performance, une prestation de haute volée retransmise en livestream sur Facebook et saluée par des internautes conquis derrière leurs écrans.  Début janvier 2021, le Big in Jazz Collective se retrouvait dans son intégralité dans l'un des studios d'enregistrement les plus prisés de la scène Jazz et world music.  C'est au Studio de Meudon, en Ile-de-France, que le collectif a magnifié et enregistré les 9 merveilleux titres élaborés lors de la résidence de création, 5 mois auparavant en Martinique.  Le 20 et le 23 avril 2021 sur Martinique la 1ère, le documentaire réalisé par Marina Jallier ainsi que le concert de restitution du Big In Jazz Collective étaient diffusés. Un véritable documentaire musical retraçant subtilement et avec émotion à la fois l'expérience musicale de ces 8 musiciens en résidence ainsi que les nombreux témoignages et images d'archives autour du Big In Jazz Festival et de l'histoire des grands compositeurs de l'époque.   Le tout premier album du Big In Jazz Collective est sorti, il s'appelle Global. Un concentré savoureux de standards du patrimoine musical martiniquais et guadeloupéen revisité prodigieusement par ces 8 artistes-créateurs exceptionnels de la Martinique, de la Guadeloupe et d'Haïti.

FATOUMATA DIAWARA: Hailed as one of the most vital standard-bearers of modern African music, Fatoumata Diawara takes her artistry to fresh and thrilling heights on her new album FENFO. Her spectacular 2011 debut album FATOU made the Malian singer and guitarist the most talked about new African artist on the planet.  FENFO (which translates as “something to Say”’) dramatically fulfils that promise on a set of vivid and original new compositions that draw on the rich experiences she has enjoyed since. Those she has worked with include some of the biggest names in contemporary music. She recorded with Bobby Womack and Herbie Hancock; played Glastonbury and other major festivals; and toured with the Cuban pianist Roberto Fonseca. She assembled a West African super-group featuring Amadou and Mariam, Oumou Sangaré and Toumani Diabaté to record a song calling for peace in her troubled homeland; and climbed aboard Damon Albarn’s star-studded Africa Express, which culminated in her sharing a stage with Sir Paul McCartney. She has also continued her parallel career as an actor, including an acclaimed appearance in 2014’s Timbuktu (Le chagrin des oiseaux), which received both BAFTA and Academy Award nominations. www.fatoumatadiawara.com

On hosting duties is Olushola Ajose, a.k.a. Afrikan Boy, a London-born rapper and producer of Nigerian heritage whose music blends hip hop, grime and afrobeat. His track One Day I Went To Lidl caught the attention of MIA, who invited him to collaborate and tour with her. He’s since worked with the likes of Damon Albarn’s Africa Express, DJ Shadow, The Noisettes, Lady Leshurr and Nneka. He’s joined by South London-based neo-soul singer and songwriter of Bangladeshi-Irish heritage, Joy Crookes. She has firmly established herself as one to watch with three critically acclaimed EPs and receiving a Rising Star Award nomination at the 2020 Brit Awards, just in time for the release of her debut album coming later this year. Jaz Karis is a soulful RnB singer-songwriter who cites Erykah Badu, Frank Ocean and Amy Winehouse as some of her biggest influences. Since releasing her debut EP Into the Wilderness in 2017, she has signed to NAO’s record label Little Tokyo Recordings, and amassed nearly 10 million views for her performance of her track Petty Lover on music platform Colors. Also joining the conversation is producer, singer and songwriter Georgia, who began her music career as a drummer for Kwes and Kate Tempest, and has gone on to collaborate with Africa Express, Honne, Mura Masa, Gorillaz and Peter Hook. She won the One to Watch Award at the AIM Independent Music Awards in 2019, and released her second record Seeking Thrills in January this year to critical acclaim. They’ll be discussing what aspects of their personalities shine through the most when making music, what drives their creativity, and what life lessons they’ve learned so far from working in music.

Jova Session ep. 27

One of Africa’s hottest bands tells us their story: from escaping civil war and a ban on music in their home country to touring the world. They’ve worked with the likes of Damon Albarn’s Africa Express, Iggy Pop and may soon collaborate with guitar hero Nile Rodgers. We discuss how they see themselves as more like a western band, their new music and the misconceptions of Timbuktu. And we talk football: from the crisis in Malian domestic football to African players getting ripped off hunting their dream of playing in Europe.

In this episode, Devi chats with Jacob Foko about the path of Humanitarian Photojournalism. Jacob Foko, Prince of the Baleng in West regional part of Cameroon, Africa, is an award-winning photojournalist, experienced multimedia producer, and passionate humanitarian.  Devi & Jacob discuss: Humanitarian Photojournalism defined The “University of Life” What Jacob learned when doing the project of “Hundred Faces of Poverty” Giving a voice to the story of those who do not have a voice in society Africa in miniature The inspiration of Jacob's exceptional mother Guiding countries to do good work through the power of Humanitarian Photojournalism What gave Jacob the courage to face death, so that the stories of other’s could live What it took for him to be Valedictorian Doing what you do best and doing it very well How to know what stories to tell The lens that is necessary to shine light on what is invisible to most of the society How humanitarian photojournalism fits into Spiritual Entrepreneurship The powerful lesson that Jacob learned from his encounter with President Bill Clinton and more...  More about Jacob: He spent fourteen years as a staff photographer and reporter for Cameroon Radio and Television (CRTV) as well as the magazines Libre Afrique, Africa Express, Africa International and Jeune Afrique Economie. His most celebrated project, “Cameroon’s 100 Faces of Poverty” in 2002, earned him an invitation from the U.S. Ambassador to Cameroon to speak about the challenges of being a photojournalist in an unfriendly political environment. He is a visual and multimedia producer and documentary filmmaker graduated from Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara, California with a Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Journalism and a Master of Arts in New Media Journalism from Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida. He served as keynote speaker at both graduations and simultaneously received an “Outstanding Achievement Award” and an “Advance Achievement Award.” In addition, he was presented the Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities (APSCU) “GREAT Award for Excellence, Achievement and Talent” on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. Jacob has established a non-profit organization and a production company called Global Humanitarian Photojournalists, Inc. (GHPJ) in 2007, and Blue World Media Network (BWMN) in 2011. The aim is to document and spread awareness of worldwide poverty and human rights abuses, as well as to present the stories of people and organizations making a difference to abused and at-risk populations.

A symphony for Syria is the story of how 50 Syrian musicians beat the odds to find their way to Holland to perform together. The Orchestra of Syrian Musicians first played with British songwriter Damon Albarn in 2008. Since then, a civil war has divided their country and forced many to rethink many aspects of their lives. Some have decided to live in Europe whilst others have stayed in Syria and continued to try and perform even as their compatriots have died and lost their homes around them. In a symphony for Syria, Amy Zayed explores their lives through music in Syria and their newly adopted countries. And it puts their music in a rich tradition of Syrian performances dating back three thousand years. We share their emotions as Damon Albarn and Africa Express attempt to reunite his old friends in Amsterdam. Can all the members make it to Holland? Is there time to get the music together? And we follow their first concert and what they hope will be an enthusiastic and emotional reception from a European audience as they attempt to persuade them that Syria is not just about war but amazing musical culture as well.
