30 ans Musiques Métisses
This album presents, in a nonexhaustive way, 30 titles of 30 articles which took part in the history of Mongrel the Musiques festival born in 1976 and which celebrated its 30 years in 2005. The festival especially attempted to make known the richness and the quality of the urban musics of the "south" created with the country. Very French-speaking at the beginning, it makes a broad place with the anglophone countries, lusophones, hispanophones... The majority of the 30 artists introduced here "were discovered" in Angouleme. They are the reflection of electic programming which makes, one will have included/understood it, a broad place with the musics of Africa and those of all its "diasporas". They make parties integral of our inheritance. Our long colonial history, our past agitated with this continent (of the centuries of draft and exploitation) had only effects negative. On the cultural level, the interbreeding with the mother of Africa east at the origin of all the popular musics which we listen to in Occident (blues, jazz, rock'n'roll, reggae, rap, salsa...). It is one of most profitable and it evolves/moves unceasingly, according to the exchanges, the migrations... Forgotten, méprisee and plundered, Africa does not remain about it less one inexhaustible source of musical richnesses that this compilation tries to explore. |
