La #SessionLive reçoit Ma Sané, Luna Silva et le souk sonique de Martin Meissonnier. Rares Talents 2024, 13è édition, du 26 mars au 13 avril 2024.Créée en 2008 par feu le charismatique musicien Hilaire Penda, l'association des Rares Talents réunit un collectif d'artistes et de professionnels du milieu de la culture, tous bénévoles. L'association incarne l'esprit et les valeurs généreuses de Montreuil, territoire accueillant où les cultures s'entremêlent et s'enrichissent mutuellement. Au carrefour des musiques venues d'Afrique et d'Orient, de pratiques musicales professionnelles et amateures qui vont du jazz aux musiques urbaines en passant par la folk, les musiques qui groovent et les fusions les plus folles, Montreuil est un vivier artistique, culturel et social unique. Le festival Rares Talents, dont la première édition s'est tenue en 2011 sous la houlette et la direction artistique d'Hilaire Penda, entend chaque année refléter pour partie cette réalité dans la construction de sa programmation et poursuit l'ambition de son fondateur : · D'offrir aux musiciens émergents comme aux musiciens renommés, d'ici et d'ailleurs, un cadre d'expression et d'exposition de haut niveau, un environnement propice aux rencontres et aux créations artistiques. · D'offrir aux publics de Montreuil, de Seine-Saint-Denis et de la capitale des soirées musicales (concerts, dj sets… ) et des événements associés divers, excitants et enrichissants.Notre 1ère invitée est l'artiste sénégalaise Ma Sané.Née à Thiès au Sénégal, Ma Sané croise dès son adolescence la route de Waflash, une bande de copains de quartier réunis autour de leur passion, la musique. Le public sénégalais découvre alors début 1990 leurs compositions mêlant le mbalax (musique sénégalaise populaire), l'afro-beat, le bougarabou (rythmes diolas) et le funk. Ma Sané et le Waflash tournent alors des dizaines de clips vidéos (« Sincérité » sera un énorme succès), se produisent en Afrique et en Amérique. En 2018, elle est invitée par l'opéra de Palerme à incarner Bintou Were, l'héroïne de « l'opéra du Sahel » composé par le musicien sénégalais Wasis Diop. Dans ce « cabaret des flagrants délires » repris au Théâtre de la Manufacture de Nancy, elle est comédienne, compositrice et directrice musicale. Désormais en solo et en France, l'artiste sort en 2023 son nouvel album MAMA ESSAMAÏ – La Mère Guerrière – dans lequel elle nous fait découvrir son univers jazz et dansant entre afro-folk et rythmes du bougarabou. Notre 2ème invitée est Luna Silva.Façonnée par ses nombreux voyages et par l'univers circassien dans lequel elle a grandi, Luna Silva mêle sa voix rayonnante et colorée aux sons de son ukulélé, de la contrebasse, de la guitare et des percussions. Le résultat est une musique métissée qui fait écho et résonne au-delà des frontières, alliant des tendances de musiques actuelles aux musiques du monde. Pour Luna Silva, la chanteuse émouvante et l'enfant de la balle, la scène est le théâtre d'une célébration heureuse, qu'elle prépare avec soin. Au sol, un tapis amoureusement tissé dans une contrée lointaine, au-dessus, de joyeuses guirlandes, elle avance, vêtue d'une robe aux couleurs éclatantes, une fleur plantée dans les cheveux en un geste cérémonial précédant le partage généreux de ses chants aux mille pigments. Notre 3ème invité est Martin Meissonnier, pour son nouveau projet avec Aziz Sahmaoui.Aziz Sahmaoui est un des co-fondateurs de l'Orchestre National de Barbès, il a longtemps accompagné le claviériste autrichien Joe Zawinul, jusqu'à sa mort en 2007. En 2010, il forme « University of Gnawa » son propre groupe avec 3 musiciens sénégalais : Alune Wade (basse) Cheikh Diallo (claviers et kora) et Hervé Samb (guitare). Le groupe prend ce nom en hommage aux rythmes de guérison des Gnawa du Maroc. Il tisse ainsi des liens entre son pays et l'Afrique Noire traditionnelle. En novembre 2023, il crée un nouveau groupe électro avec ses compagnons de route Martin Meissonnier (qui a déjà réalisé deux albums d'University of Gnawa), Adhil Mirghani (percussions pour l'University of Gnawa) et Baptiste Ferré (claviers de l'ONB) pour célébrer les musiques de transe du Maghreb. Martin Meissonnier est compositeur, producteur et réalisateur et travaille avec les instruments électroniques depuis le début des années 1980. Il a collaboré avec de nombreux artistes comme King Sunny Ade, Papa Wemba, Khaled, Amina, Yasuaki Shimizu, Haruomi Hosono et beaucoup d'autres… En 2024, il rallume 4 de ses synthés analogiques et ressort sa guitare électrique pour accompagner Aziz. Titres interprétés au grand studio- Reccuna Live RFI Ma Sané- Pajaro Live RFI Luna Silva voir le clip- Mokido, extrait de l'album Siba Sawt-System d'Aziz Konkrite, choix Martin Meissonnier- Mimouna (Traditionnel; arrangement A.

The poet, folklorist and performer ‘Miss Lou' made waves on air on both sides of the Atlantic. Coming to study at Rada in London shortly after WWII, her dialect verse was picked up and celebrated on the BBC through radio programmes like Caribbean Voices. For writer Kei Miller, who lovingly recalls the magic her words worked on his mother, she is rightly seen as a hero back home in Jamaica. 75 years ago, the revolutionary Caribbean Voices strand was established on the Overseas Service by trailblazing Jamaican broadcaster Una Marson. Every week for over a decade, it gave exposure on radio to emerging writers from the region such as Sam Selvon, Derek Walcott and VS Naipaul - many for the first time. Delving into the BBC's Written Archives, five writers go in search of five important figures who contributed to the programme throughout the 1940s and 50s, each of whom changed the literary landscape in a different way. The result is part archival treasure hunt, part cultural history and part personal reflection on the people behind a landmark institution. Producer: Ciaran Bermingham

The three ladies delve into what endometriosis is, signs and symptoms, potential causes, nutritional therapy that can support endo and all about the Traditional Chinese Medicine approach that can also support these women.What we learn is that acupuncture provides several benefits to endometriosis sufferers on many different levels and is also an excellent complement to nutritional therapy and vice versa (and not just with endo but all hormonal imbalance). We hope you enjoy this podcast spreading awareness and offering support on a very common women's health disorder.You can find out more about Louise through her Facebook page hereFurther reading -www.endomarchaustralia.org.au/what-is-the-endomarchBacterial influences in endometriosis - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/rmb2.12083Endometriosis and auto immunity - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/aji.13095Inflammation and endometriosis pain - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1043276014001866Nutrition & endometriosis - https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Tommaso_Occhiali/publication/325092608_Endometriosis_and_food_habits_Can_diet_make_the_difference/links/5b51a14845851507a7b25954/Endometriosis-and-food-habits-Can-diet-make-the-difference.pdf?origin=publication_detailGluten free in endometriosis - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/23334113/Acupuncture in endometriosis - https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0186616

Louise Simone Bennett-Coverley or Miss Lou, OM, OJ, MBE (7 September 1919 – 26 July 2006), was a Jamaican poet, folklorist, writer, and educator. Writing and performing her poems in Jamaican Patois or Creole, she worked to preserve the practice of presenting poetry, folk songs and stories in patois ("nation language").Louise Bennett was born on September 7, 1919 on North Street in Kingston, Jamaica. She was the only child of Augustus Cornelius Bennett, the owner of a bakery in Spanish Town, and Kerene Robinson, a dressmaker. After the death of her father in 1926, Bennett was raised primarily by her mother. She attended elementary school at Ebenezer and Calabar, continuing to St. Simon's College and Excelsior College, in Kingston. In 1943 she enrolled at Friends College in Highgate, St Mary where she studied Jamaican folklore. That same year her poetry was first published in the Sunday Gleaner. In 1945 Bennett became the first black student to study at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art after being awarded a scholarship from the British Council. After graduating from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, Bennett worked with repertory companies in Coventry, Huddersfield and Amersham, as well as in intimate revues across England.[6] During her time in the country she hosted two radio programs for the BBC - Caribbean Carnival (1945-1946) and West Indian Night (1950).

Working (it) Out: Season Two Louise Bennett – Everywhere Welcome to the new season of Working (it) Out. This season, I’m asking artists “Where does art belong?” I met with Louise Bennett to discuss her practice, her involvement with the collective and artist-run initiative Accidentally Annie Street. Bennett’s work uses site specificity (be it the Australian landscape or a seven-minute ride in her car) in tandem with sound, video, performance and experimental ephemeral installation.
