Tomorrow, January 14 at 7 p.m., French Institute from Madrid offers an online concert of the group DJUSU, that will be offered on your page Facebook Live.
DJUSU, in Malinke language, means “the heart.” This heart beats in Abidjan, the bustling cosmopolitan capital of West Africa. The flow of its arteries has transported the group’s components all over the world: Bamako, Accra, Dakar, Addis-Abeba, Brazza, Lagos, Luanda, Conakry and Timbuktu. With a predilection for the psychedelic and hypnotic formats of the 70s and 80s, Djusu borrowed the energies of highlife, mandingo, m’balax, rumba and other ethnic groups, intrinsically associated with his universe. This trio formation (voice / guitar / pumpkin) elaborates a deeply organic music, which invites a road trip without borders, a trance of the soul, an immersion in emotions. DJUSU. Marked by its Ivorian culture, its lyrics are in Attié, Akan or Dioula. His songs speak of solidarity, animism, protest and optimism. The ahoko, a traditional instrument from the Ivory Coast, accompanies her.
