Slammer, poet, and member of B.Vice (Bloc Venant de l’Intérieur Comme de l’Extérieur), Mohamed Mbaé Tahamida (aka Soly) keeps alive the memory of his friend Ibrahim Ali, another member of the hip-hop group from Marseille who, like him, lived in the La Savine district and was murdered in 1995 by a Front National activist. The musical architect and DJ of IAM, Imhotep works in parallel with different musical styles. Together they pay tribute to Ibrahim Ali : Imhotep wrote the music and Soly is accompanied on stage by two Comorian singers and a slamming DJ.
To end the evening, rapper Casey gives a cheeky and darkly sincere performance.
Before the show at La Savine : concert of Toirab.
Before the show at Friche Belle de Mai : concert of Tari.
Both evenings are part of Massilia Afropea whose programme will include many other shows at La Savine and La Friche: traditional Comorian music, DJs, master classes, events, etc.
