Urban Music Painty
Urban Music Painty est une performance qui dévoile aux spectateurs les transes particulières de l’inspiration, de la communion parfaite entre les rythmes lancinants d’une musique ancestrale et d’un pinceau envoûté qui se met à cracher des couleurs.
La fusion progressive des deux personnages devient si forte et leur dialogue si intense, qu’il devient alors impossible de savoir si le pinceau dirige la musique ou la musique dirige le pinceau.
Le musicien se balance au même rythme que les couleurs, les courbes et les points dansent au gré des dérivations chantantes. Le pinceau a- t- il des oreilles ? Les notes s’habillent-elles de couleurs ? Voici certainement les questions qu’un public émerveillé se posera, prit dans les filets de cette aventure, avançant crescendo dans cet échange métissé, voyageant au cœur de la même tribu ; celle de l’Humanité

Dossier De Presse
Since their 2006 debut with an exchange program run by the Akiba Association in Cameroon, Paris-based African meets Western music project ABAKUYA has only strengthened their craftsmanship, their musical traits remaining the same: enchanting, transporting and invigorating long past the final notes resonate on stage, the audience float on smiling and the festival packs up.
Traditional/world/folk/jazz fusion outfit, the incomparable ABAKUYA is also the voice of a sacred and endangered music. Inspired by Cameroonian oral tradition and created by renowned musician and Bulu storyteller FRANCOIS ESSINDI, in collaboration with consummate Australian musician and composer JIMI SOFO, ABAKUYA’s music is the result of a search for the healing elements of polyphonic traditional music from central Africa, specifically the Ekang and le Bal (pronounced Bol) with their fascinating histories.
By presenting traditional music in a contemporary format, the group allows global audiences access to these sacred sounds. In the universe of ABAKUYA, Essindi, Sofo and regular guest musicians present the acoustic and electric bass, violin, accordion and drums weaved magically with traditional voice, percussion, and instruments such as the mvet, and the ngômo (central African harps).
