| Summary |
With a zebra-print dress and regal bearing, here's Alsarah and her Nubian retro-pop, a Golden Age version in the style of Ali Hassan Kuban and his famous Walk Like a Nubian, in which the nostalgia goes far beyond the simple vintage esthetic. Born in Sudan to activist parents and relocated to Brooklyn, the young woman knows of exile and migration, which have since colored her pentatonic scales with reasons for returning, like those of refugees, and memories of the Nile ... as she puts it, "Home, an eternal kiss." Today, the sound of Alsarah & The Nubatones consists of root percussion, traditional oud, tinges of jazz-soul and even electro, in effervescent ballads and refrains that don't hesitate to encourage trance onstage at the Africolor Festival, where Zār meets the music of North Africa. **Jeanne Lacaille** |
