Tous les jours dans Nova Lova, Jeanne Lacaille vous propose une chronique sur les musiques rituelles, les rythmes issus des musiques de guérison (traditionnelles ou repassées à la moulinette des musiques actuelles), des plantes ou bien des savoirs hérités racontés par des invité.e.s un peu sorcier.e.s de passage à Nova.Un podcast réalisé par Tristan Guérin.Le décor d'abord : un bourg de 250 habitants, à vingt minutes de Tulle, la préfecture de la Corrèze. À Saint-Salvadour, résonnent tambours et chants populaires du Massif Central grâce à trois hommes et trois femmes, un club des six polyphonique qui a décidé de régénérer les traditions musicales de sa région. Et devinez quoi ? ça marche ! Depuis deux ans, San Salvador envoûte les publics des festivals, des Transmusicales de Rennes au GlobalFest à New York, avec un live en occitan vraiment époustouflant, flirtant avec la transe en permanence. San Salvador, c'est aussi la réalisation d'une utopie collective qui permet à nos traditions musicales locales de vivre, de se renouveler et d'être transmises, dans la lignée de Manu Théron avec Lo Cor de la Plana ou de Sam Karpienia à Marseille. San Salvador vient de sortir son premier album, La Grande Folie, huit titres ébouriffants d'une grande modernité, des chants jetés comme des sorts entre ritournelles paysannes ou amoureuses, rites païens et appels à la révolte. Pour La Potion, Gabriel Durif revient sur leur initiation, la magie et les tambours de transe qui composent le répertoire de San Salvador.Crédit © Kristof Guez See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Aya Mhana is a Syrian-born singer, songwriter and oud player. Now a proud Canadian citizen, Aya moves easily between English and Arabic, writing lyrics with a poet's sensibilities. Since emigrating to Calgary, Canada, in 2016 , Aya has performed at the Calgary Stampede and Globalfest, and with the Kensington Sinfonia. Also, got invited to Folkfest. In 2020, for her outstanding commitment to the community and art she received the Calgary Catholic Immigration Society New Canadian Artist Award and the Portail De L,immigrant Assosiation (PIA) award. She formed a band called HYMM, a seven-piece ensemble that often graces Calgary coffee houses with its Middle Eastern fusion repertoire. Aya's musical journey is deeply influenced by her Syrian roots. Which was obvious in her album (Homeland) the combination of two homelands that she has Canada and Syria, Hailing from Sweida, she taught herself to play the oud (a string instrument similar to the lute) during high school, and graduated from the University of Damascus with a degree in education. She volunteered with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent, working with families displaced during the Syrian war. Inspired by her volunteer work, Aya used her music to explore the human capacity for hope during wartime, and performed her compositions in her home city. In Canada, she translates the rich culture of her homeland for audiences who often know little of Syria, but are eager to embrace her soulful melodies. As an artist who inhabits the crossroad between nations, Aya is committed to speaking out about issues on exile and diaspora, and to celebrating the importance of home. She hopes that her music helps shape Canada's vision for a peaceful and vibrant cultural mosaic.

We get a chance to chat with Amythyst Kia before her set Globalfest in Times Square.   A professed Southern Gothic songster based in Johnson City, TN, Amythyst Kiah’s commanding stage presence is only matched by her raw and powerful vocals—a deeply moving, hypnotic sound that stirs echoes of a distant and restless past. A graduate of East Tennessee State University, she studied old time music and music performance, and it proved to be a pivotal moment in her life as she transformed from a long-time closet musician into a well-rounded, captivating performer. Accoutered interchangeably with banjo, acoustic guitar, or a full band (Her Chest of Glass), Amythyst’s toolbox is augmented by her scholarship of African-American roots music. Her eclectic influences span decades, drawing heavily on old time music (Mississippi Sheiks, Son House, Jimmie Rodgers, Olla Belle Reed, Carter Family), inspired by strong R&B and country music vocalists from the '50s-'70s (Big Mama Thornton, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Mahalia Jackson, Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn) and influenced by contemporary artists with powerful vocal integrity (Adele, Florence and the Machine, Megan Jean and the KFB, Janelle Monae).

Earth-rattling horns and mesmerizingly oscillating vocals: Boston's Debo Band takes the funky, psychedelic groove of 1960s Ethiopiaand transplants it firmly onto a 21st-century dance floor. With 11 musicians crammed every which way onto the tiniest stage of the night — the sousaphone barely cleared overhead pipes — Debo Band closed globalFEST in serious, sweaty, funky style. For more concerts, visit npr.org/liveconcerts. Set List: "Musicawi Silt" "Yene Neger" "Belomi Benna" "Ney Ney Waleba" "Asha Gedawo" "Lantchi Biye" "Tenesh Kelbe Lay" "Addis Ababa Bete" "Gedawo"

Composer and guitarist Aurelio Martinez is one of the leading singers of Garifuna music from Central America. Martinez was added to globalFEST at the last minute after a Cuban group had visa trouble; he also played without his own band and had to put together a pickup group quickly. Despite all this, Martinez was a delight. He has been studying under the the legendary African singer and bandleader Youssou N'Dour — an important connection in his life since the Garifuna community descends from escaped African slaves. The culturally endangered Garifuna song forms such as paranda ballads find new life as the Honduran musician complements them with his melancholy yet hopeful singing.

This was one show everyone wanted to catch. Magic happens when Ballak? Sissoko and Vincent Segal perform. This night at globalFEST was no exception. When the kora and a cello sit side by side, there's a clear cultural juxtaposition of African and European musical tradition. But despite the striking contrast, when the Malian kora player Sissoko and French cellist Segal sit down together, nothing sounds more natural. Sissoko plucks sweet harp-like sounds from the 21-stringed kora, while Segal draws unexpected sounds from his cello, sometimes evoking woodwinds. The acoustic pairing and cultural combination has become an exciting new sound in chamber music.

This was my globalFEST surprise. Imagine a New Orleans street band playing Indian Bollywood tunes with a go-go beat — you can't? Then just listen, because your day is about to get better. Red Baraat is the only bhangra brass band in North America. Hailing from New York City and formed in 2008, the group uses their improvisational sound to blend the dhol, a double-sided, barrel-shaped North Indian drum, with brass funk. It's a crazy blast of fun.
