Alibeta

Senegalese artist Alibeta is a busy bee, gathering from multiple universes, from theatre, to cinema, to his own art of predilection: music. A writer, composer and performer, his nectar is making a contribution to the universality of language, culture, and representations.

From Afro-jazz to Serer song, from Afro-roots to Mandinka music, this native of Tambacounda plays with the purest West African influences. In complete humility, awestruck by their cosmogonies, he draws on the words of Dogon masters and the wisdom of Serer Saltigue. He cherishes traditions, yet with an eye to the future, whose bold and vigorous voice he can already hear. With him, we transcend unimaginable borders, grasping the full meaning of the word "orality". We accompany him too in a rich contemplation, under the auspices of a quasi-spiritual credo: Africa is the present.
