Screening/ Panel
Film « Rumble » (FR)
Canadian Cultural Center
130 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, 75008 Paris
"A chapter in the history of American music, as profound as it is essential and yet largely unknown until now: that of indigenous influence. Through the portrait of musical icons, Rumble shows how these talented musicians have helped shape the soundtracks of our lives".
The film will be followed by a moment of exchange with French and Canadian speakers on the influence of indigenous culture on contemporary music, and more broadly, on the blending of African, Latin and European cultures.

Trina Tamukdar (Kranti) :
« Kranti » signifie « revolution en Hindou. Les filles, les femmes issues des « zones rouges » d’Inde ont un réel impact sur le changement. Non pas à cause de leur passé mais grâce à ce dernier. Si elles ont accès à toute l’éducation et aux mêmes chances que les autres femmes, elles pourront à leur tour, devenir des leaders révolutionnaires ; plus innovantes, plus empathiques et activistes grâce à leurs expériences de vie.
Au départ, les Indo-Canadiens ont fui leur pays à cause des conditions sociales et économiques. Dans les années 20, malgré des lois anti-asiatiques d’immigration, le Canada lance un programme dédié aux femmes et aux enfants ce qui augmente la population dans le pays. Les communautés indiennes ont immigré au Canada depuis le début des années 1900 et représente aujourd’hui presque 20% de la population (Source : The Canadian Encyclopedia).

Concert
Flem (FR) & Vieux Farka Touré (Mali) Present "NOMADES"
FGO Barbara
1 Rue Fleury, 75018 Paris
The "Nomades" Group was born from a collaboration between the French rapper Flem, and Vieux Farka Touré, nicknamed by the American media the Hendrix of the Sahara, son of the legendary Ali Farka Touré. Flem has worked with artists such as Dany Dan of the "Wise Street Poets" and DJ Duke of the "Assassin" group.
Mandingo songs, poetically committed texts and Tuareg melodies make up this new militant project produced between Bamako and Paris. Flem and Vieux met in 2009 at the Festival du Désert near Timbuktu. In 2012, they were together at the Festival de Niafunké, the village where the Touré family was born, for peace in northern Mali. The next day Flem was evacuated to the capital because a terrorist attack was announced by the Malian state services. Their friendship leads them to make this second opus to address the political, economic, and cultural issues that concern the sub-Saharan region.
The Paris-New York Festival and the theme of activism through culture was therefore the ideal and logical opportunity to present Nomades before its official release at the end of 2019.

AKUA NARU (US)
Originally from Connecticut, Akua Naru will be noticed in 2011 with her song The World is Listening and her texts that illustrate her attachment to the African continent. Her music, committed and political, echoes the great female figures who are dear to her, such as Lauryn Hill or Erykah Badu. With three albums to her credit, Akua Naru has created her own musical identity combining hip hop beats, jazz tunes and soul delicacy. She never stops questioning in her latest album The Blackest Joy released in 2018. Eleven titles tinged with respect, emancipation and hope.
RAASHAN AHMAD (US)
Between the soul of the 70s and the world music with which he grew up listening to, Raashan Ahmad knows how to play with notes to sublimate his version of hip-hop. The result? A new authentic urban jazzy groove album.
Raashan Ahmad releases his new album the SUN at the end of MAY 2019, on this occasion the festival gives him a chance to present it to you... For the first time he will be accompanied by his BAND, new tracks, surprises, guests. With his generosity and energy, Raashan is planning an explosive set!

EUMIR DEODATO (BR:US)
For more than 45 years, Eumir Deodato has been one of the fathers of jazz-funk. But his collaborations with Frank Sinatra, Roberta Flack, Aretha Franklin or more recently Björk, make him the master of style fusion.
For the re-release of his album at Far Out, the legend Eumir Deodato will go on stage with the French septet... Cotonete!
COTONETE 8tet (FR)
Puissant, bouillonnant, élégant et irrésistible : les agitateurs du jazz-funk français n’ont pas fini de nous faire danser. Depuis la naissance du groupe en 2005 sous l’égide de Florian Pellissier et Franck Chatona, l’octet Cotonete a pourtant définitivement pris son envol parmi les astres du funk. Depuis quelques années, ils enchaînent les projets et les collaborations aussi vite qu’ils placent riffs et syncopes, comme avec la chanteuse brésilienne Simone Mazzer, révélation de 2015. En 2017, ils sortent trois maxis dont un disque produit avec leur ami Dimitri From Paris avec le hit « Parribean Disco ». En 2019, ils sortent leur premier album, « Super-Vilains » (sur Heartbeat/Heavenly Sweetness), un concentré de leur savoir-faire. Et ce n’est pas fini : le groupe s’apprête en effet à sortir un nouvel album fin mai, « Atemporal », avec le chanteur brésilien Di Melo sur Favorite Recordings. On trouve à la batterie David Georgelet, à la basse Jean-Claude Kebaili, à la guitare Farid Baha, au trombone Benoit Giffard, aux trompettes Christophe Elliot Touzalin et Paul Bouclier (également aux percusssions), Florian Pellissier aux claviers, et Franck Chatona aux saxes.
