[IN]Chorus – Strings Together – Saturday 30th APRIL – 7.00PM – Gohar Mahal

[In]Chorus – Strings Together – A fusion of Kora, Guitar and Tabla

As part of the fourth edition of Bonjour India festival, Alliance Française invites famous Kora player from Mali, Chérif Soumano along with Shahnawaz Ahmed, an incredible classical guitarist & Shahbaaz Khan, a traditional tabla player from India.

InChorus is a musical platform for the promotion of promising young musicians of all genres, Indian and French, through residencies, concerts, meetings and workshops. The idea of this platform is to encourage a talented Indian musician to participate in the development of a musical project or to strengthen an already existing collaboration with a Francophone artist.

As part of the fourth edition of Bonjour India festival, Alliance Francaise de Delhi invites famous Kora player from Mali, Chérif Soumano along with Shahnawaz Ahmed, an incredible classical guitarist from India for its next InChorus.

Chérif SOUMANO is a rising star of the Kora; he offers music of his time, while being deeply rooted with the traditional repertoire that his father transmitted to him in Mali. He has performed with Dee Dee Bridgewater, Tiken Jah Fakoly, Roberto Fonseca, co-founded the World Kora Trio and recorded for Marcus Miller. He is undoubtedly one of the most talented and promising Kora players of his generation by his talent to communicate musically with all types of music, without mentioning his exceptional virtuosity coupled with great expressiveness.

Shahnawaz AHMED is quite an unusual classical Indian musician, playing various styles on modern guitar with unique technique and incredible ease. Accompanied by the young talent Shahbaaz KHAN at the tabla, they will present their respective traditional repertoire as well as some pieces resulting from their residency took place at the Alliance Française de Delhi.
