Surrounded by traditional musicians from West Africa, Tiken Jah Fakoly begins an acoustic tour as we go back in time, crossing 27 years of repertoire and engagement. The opportunity to relive his timeless hits and discover his new album Acoustic, without brass, in an intense stage performance as on the first day.
Native of Odienné in the north of Côte d'Ivoire, Tiken Jah Fakoly leads us with his reassuring voice and under a flood of kora in Guinea, Mali, to the four corners of the African continent. A long and beautiful melodic and poetic journey, bearing a protesting word that has earned him threats and censorship, but which has made his reputation beyond borders: «We will forgive but never forget»
Over 50 years old, this major figure of the African continent and reggae roots has lost none of its verve to fight injustice and inequality in English, Mandingo, Bambara or French and imposes an intact charisma. An album and tour that rekindles the inner flame of the rebellious artist back to the source of his music, reggae and blues, and traditional instruments.
