Librement inspiré de l’affaire Bettencourt, le film de Thierry Klifa narre le dernier quart de vie d’une héritière dont la fortune n’a d’égal que sa solitude abyssale.

Mariée à un homme qu’elle n’aime plus et mère d’une fille avec qui elle n’a aucune complicité, elle se liera d’amitié avec un photographe extravagant à qui elle ne cessera de donner de l’argent, jusqu’à éveiller les soupçons de sa famille sur un possible abus de confiance. Tout sonne juste dans ce film où Isabelle Huppert et Laurent Lafitte brillent par leur alchimie.

Chibane skillfully navigates between North African traditions, Gypsy jazz and engaged poetry. A staunch supporter of the Hirak, he was one of the first to lend his voice to this movement fuelled by an artistic impulse that mobilized an entire people and gave visibility to their determination. Banned from performing in his home country, he chose exile over silence. Now based in Montreal, the singer-songwriter infuses his chaâbi sound with cosmopolitan rhythms beautifully accentuated by an intense and warm voice that carries both pain and hope.

“Never again will we listen to the balafon in the same way,” (Le Monde, 2025). Strikingly modern and spirited, Kanazoé Orkestra’s sound combines the balafon and drums of Mandinka and Sambla traditions with Nigerian Afrobeat and South African amapiano, along with a good dose of irresistible rap and electro groove. With electrifying energy, the ensemble—led by the charming and brilliant Seydou Diabaté, whose balafon technique is simply breathtaking—celebrates Africa and the universality of its rhythms, bringing ancient traditions to life at 200 bpm! With humanity and social awareness, Kanazoé Orkestra’s fourth album, Balabeatz (2025), speaks to the world by embracing the vibes of its time, without ever losing sight of its roots.

The rhythms are joyful but their lyrics are profound and serious. This first all-female carimbó group sings of life, resistance, and the memories of the peoples of Brazil’s Lower Tapajós region. As gentle as they are rebellious, the women share their deep connection to nature, pay tribute to women’s solidarity and strength, and advocate for the defence of ancestral lands and Indigenous rights. Emanating a magnetic aura, a determined spirit of rebellion, and a deeply rooted vitality, Suraras do Tapajós were unanimously selected for the WOMEX Showcase 2025.

Pour célébrer la Fête Nationale française, le Festival Bastille vous invite à découvrir le plus récent album de Mélissa Laveaux, où pop indie et mystique se rencontrent pour raconter un voyage intime entre la vie et la mort.

Inspiré de mythologies, de souvenirs et d’une histoire personnelle marquée par la résilience, At my softest… explore émotions, vulnérabilité et puissance intérieure. Sur scène, sa voix habitées et et ses atmosphères envoûtantes donnent vie à un récit fascinant, entre ombre et lumière. Une expérience musicale intense, sensible et audacieuse, portée par une artiste aussi fragile que redoutablement puissante.

Eagerly awaited by festivalgoers, this breathtaking favourite event never fails to arouse powerful emotions. This year, Afrique en Cirque will celebrate its 40th anniversary in a spectacular fashion with a thrilling, large-scale production specially conceived for the occasion. Steeped in memories of West Africa, the company’s dizzying and athletic acrobatics, which burst forth from all directions, is set to the powerful and joyful rhythms of djembe drums, themselves guided by the magical and generous kora playing of Yamoussa Bangoura, Kalabanté’s founder and artistic director, and multidisciplinary artist who has worked with Circus Baobab, Cirque Éloize, Cirque du Soleil and Cavalia. Dance, music, contemporary circus arts, theatre and costumes are fully integrated, forming a single, cohesive aesthetic that fills the stage as a unified whole. The scenes and feats flow seamlessly into one another, creating a language that serves to share and connect cultures.

The music of this self-taught, multidisciplinary artist is free-spirited and eclectic, much like himself. His creative mashups, synthesized on his MIDI keyboard, are a distillation of his diverse and iconoclastic tastes, ranging from Latin percussion to keb rap, from R&B to UKG, from reggaeton to Afrobeat, from baile funk to electro in all its forms, and the list goes on.

Zalam Kao, “through a fusion of styles, embodies a kind of vibrant musical spirit that has been part of Montreal since the 1970s, namely an uninhibited blending of cultures that form the mosaic of our music scene,” (Le Devoir, 2026). This big winner of the 19th edition of the Syli d’Or de la Musique du Monde awards doesn’t hold back as it moves through jazz, funk and soul. Sunny and unifying, Zalam Kao’s music is not only eclectic, it’s truly mind-blowing! Global music has never carried its name so well.

It’s a return to his roots for Élage Diouf, whose career in Montreal began with Nuits d’Afrique almost 30 years ago, when he was discovered thanks to his appearance on the Colocs’ album Dehors novembre, on the song “Tassez vous de d’là” (yup, the one that everyone still pretends they know the words to as they try to sing along!) Élage and the three Sissokho brothers, Sadio, Fa and Noumoucounda—whose extensive careers are studded with collaborations with illustrious artists—have known each other for years. Tonight will be all about coming together. And it’s going to be wild! Djembes, dunduns, tamas… We’re talking about some seriously talented percussionists here! But that’s not all! The kora will also have pride of place, befitting its prestige and magical qualities.

She sings to exist and to resist. “Powered by the rock vibe of the trio from Lyon accompanying her, Sahra Halgan has but one aim: to put her country on the world map,” (RFI, 2021).

Her raw, fiery voice breathes new life into ancient melodies that intersect with hard-hitting riffs and hypnotic drums at the crossroads of Ethio-jazz, Tuareg blues, and garage rock.

Lately, Kizaba has been going non-stop, with performances at venues around the globe in these last few months alone. The career of the man behind Future Village (Disques Nuits d’Afrique, 2025) is literally booming. Among the Révélation Radio-Canada 2024–2025, the artist embodies Afrofuturism, playing with a variety of styles, including roots, French touch, Afrobeat, folk, dubstep and Afro-pop rock, while he summons the ancestors to chart a future guided by their wisdom. A multi-instrumentalist, he creates a world where soukous guitars, explosive synths and an arsenal of percussion instruments collide to form a socially conscious, perfectly catchy and danceable Congolese electro sound that bridges ancestral memory, the golden age of SAPE and a holographic vision of a future waiting to be reinvented.

Témoin lucide des enjeux actuels, Virginie Brunelle pose un regard incisif sur une planète en hypertension. Elle signe une chorégraphie impérieuse, vibrant combat pour l’amour et la solidarité.

Avec ses attaques et ses élans fulgurants, la danse exutoire de Virginie Brunelle percute de plein fouet et ausculte une humanité fracturée. Après Fables , où elle explorait le combat des femmes, elle aborde cette fois les thèmes du chaos et de la déshumanisation en créant un rempart scénique où l’union devient un contrepoids salvateur.
Sur scène, cinq interprètes incarnent une force collective où la dépense physique devient langage. Chaque souffle, chaque frémissement musculaire s’inscrit dans une trame humaine et sensible, révélant leur profonde complicité. Soutenue par une composition ingénieuse de Laurier Rajotte, Sans quoi nous crèverons résonne comme un cri libérateur contre l’aliénation et la lente érosion de notre condition humaine — une invitation à vivre pleinement.

“Kinshasa is bursting with stars, and Fulu Miziki Kolektiv is the wildest of them all,” (RFI, 2025). Fulu Miziki, literally “music from garbage” in Lingala, has made a splash by transporting the sounds of Kinshasa’s streets into an Afro-futuristic, techno-punk trance sound stamped with Congolese rumba and coupé-décalé that they call “twerkanda.” Once discarded objects are recycled into hand-made instruments, which the percussionists beat as if their life depended on it, releasing furious energy with urgency to take action to save the planet, amplified by their raw, powerful voices rising from the depths of their souls and through DIY cyber-costumes that reflect their commitment. Zero waste, 100% impact!

Tout au long de cette œuvre chorégraphique en cinq actes, le public est invité à découvrir la danse dans l’espace public à travers des propositions inédites, parfois participatives. Une expérience pour explorer la présence du corps, du mouvement et de la création.

« La vie passe, rapide caravane! Arrête ta monture et cherche à être heureux. » - Omar Kayyham, poète persan du 11e siècle
11 danseurs et danseuses vous offrent, en extérieur, dans un espace public, une expérience qui vous plonge dans les fondements de la danse, de la présence du corps et de la création. La Compagnie Marie Chouinard présente des événements composés de quelques œuvres inédites, des moments de danse pure qui font sens et font découvrir la danse autrement, des performances, parfois participatives, qui allègent le cœur, qui créent la joie de la redécouverte du corps et qui offrent le bien-être de la communauté retrouvée. Un enchantement empreint de bienveillance et qui réconforte.
Œuvre chorégraphique en cinq actes :
1. Oiseaux/oiselles 2. Mains-souffles-colonnes 3. Raconter la danse 4. Jeux 5. La colonne : substantifique moëlle

Nuits d'Afrique outdoors
“She can do it all,” (The Gazette, 2024). Lorraine Klaasen is part of Nuit d’Afrique’s own story. She was there right from the start and it’s only natural that she is returning as a cherished guest for the Festival’s 40th edition! If she gets her talent and charisma from her mother, the renowned Thandie Klaasen, and her confidence from rubbing shoulders with such legends as Nelson Mandela and Miriam Makeba, Lorraine Klaasen’s internationally acclaimed career is wholly down to her hard work, high standards and determination to let the audience feel every word she sings—even if they don’t understand the language. This grande dame, with a warm, ageless, powerful and elegant voice, whose nuances are beautifully underscored by dedicated musicians, carries on traditions from South Africa’s townships, delivering a captivating blend of marabi, jazz, blues, soul and Zulu rhythms.

Nuits d'Afrique outdoors
Since 2014, he has performed on several occasions at the Festival International Nuits d’Afrique, each time amazed by the receptiveness, appreciation and diversity of the festival’s audience, of whom he has become a crowd favorite. His presence to celebrate the 40th anniversary was only natural! In three decades, Admiral T has become the king of the Caribbean reggae-dancehall sound. That’s no exaggeration for an artist who’s able to fill the 20,000 seats at the Paris-Bercy Accor Arena. Influenced by sound systems and inspired by legends like Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, Admiral T blends gwoka, biguine, salsa, R&B, hip-hop and electro, all generously sprinkled with glitter and light. “A true pop cultural phenomenon … one of the rare superstars to emerge from the Creole-speaking community,” (La Presse, 2014).
