Les Syli d'Or de la Musique du Monde -En concert

In Africa, "Syli" means elephant, a symbol of wisdom, power, nobility and long life, values inherent to world music. Being the only animal without borders, the elephant symbolises the link between tradition and universal cultures. Les SYLI D'OR DE LA MUSIQUE DU MONDE is also a great showcase for the best artists of world music, which have shared the Club Balattou stage during 18 evenings of free concerts. This album was recorded during the Gala des Syli d’Or which brought together the 3 musical ensembles that stood out in representing the wealth of this form of expression.

The Cuban Martinez Show -Syli d'OR

Under the impetus of Yordan Martínez, a versatile composer, trombonist and arranger, the Cuban Martinez Show delivers an exuberant style of music, a blend of jazz, funk, Latin jazz and Cuban beats. Midway between an American big band and a Cuban sextet, the Cuban Martinez Show is a unique sense of improvisation, an invitation to dance!

Saravá -Syli d'ARGENT

Their influences include Buena Vista Social Club (Cuba), Oscar D'León (Venezuela) and Baden Powell (Brazil). You can see that this young Montreal group, consisting of accomplished musicians, performs Latin music. But not just any Latin music! Brass, percussions, strings. Between salsa, rumba and chorinho, this is an authentic sound that Sarava cultivates with great care.

Élété -Syli de BRONZE

From desert to savannah, Chad is a land of exchanges and blends, lying along the route between black Africa and North Africa. The music of Élété Rimtobaye reflects this image, rich in varied influences and open to the world. Inspired by Lokua Kanza, Richard Bona and his H'sao compatriots, Élété uses his raspy voice, guitar and percussions to forge a sound that is very much his own.
