SUMMARY:Kananayé
LOCATION:Ashburton Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:Five stellar musicians from France and Burkina Faso create “f
 ormidable vocals on their trance-like grooves” Songlines - Kananayé is 
 an artistic collaboration between Burkina Faso and France that weaves narr
 ative songs in French\, Jula\, More\, and English\, merging West African m
 usical heritage\, blues\, improvisation\, poetry and organic trance-driven
  grooves.In the streets of Burkina Faso\, you often hear "ka nana ye"\, me
 aning "it's not easy"\, but with the idea that "it will be alright". The p
 roject Kananayé embodies this resilience with its multiculturalism\, cons
 cious lyrics\, and modernity while staying true to its heritage. This mult
 ilingual opus navigates between enchanting ballads and vibrant rhythms\, e
 xpressing the joy of creating together despite challenges.It brings togeth
 er a stellar lineup of musicians: vocalist-flutist Clotilde Rullaud Nacoul
 ma\, twice named among France’s top three voices by JazzNews and JazzMag
 azine (2022 & 2023)\; guitarist Abdoulaye “Debademba” Traore (Fatoumat
 a Diawara\, Le Bal de l’Afrique Enchantée)\; Seydou “Kanazoé” Diab
 ate—of Kanazoé Orkestra and Mamadou Diabaté fame—on balafon and voca
 ls\; Boubacar Djiga on the kunde (traditional bass) and Achille Nacoulma b
 ehind drums and percussion.Listen on BandcampTheir album of the same name
 \, Kananayé (Tzig’Art / Socadisc / Proper Music)\, was recorded between
  Brussels and Bobo-Dioulasso\, mixed and mastered in New York\, and launch

 e vocals on their trance-like grooves” Songlines Live video of ‘Teri D
 jougou’ @ Rares Talents\, Montreuil\, Paris (April 2025) and lots more.
 “The Burkinabè contingent create a pleasing soundbed that draws on a va
 riety of West African styles\, from Mandé tradition to Saharan blues\, ov
 er which Rullaud delivers her lyrics. On the trance-like Garibou and a str
 iking cover of Nina Simone’s Sea Lion Woman\, her singing is formidable.
 ” Songlines / Nigel Williamson (UK)“Kananayé chisels out refined styl
 istic combinations. Words\, aphorisms and languages sway in breathtaking p
 olyrhythms.” IHH Magazine / Fara C (FR)“Multi-ethnic folk\, joyfully o
 ptimistic\, carried by exceptional virtuosos.” Télérama Sortir / Anne
