Strange o'clock - African blues concert
He brought his blues, she brought her African spirit. Thus, their roots have intertwined to
the point where they are now inseparable.
Halfway between blues and world music, Strange o'clock fuses and shapes what each of them carries within. A fusion of different cultures; a raw, sensitive spirit, energy, and a wild desire to move mountains in our turbulent world. Over a series of pure, deep riffs, supported by a calabash with a minimal pulse, melodious snippets of Mandinka and Tuareg notes intertwine. In English, French, and Dioula, she lends her voice to the music with passion and conviction. This is how they express their zest for life, their hope, and their unquenchable need for freedom.
A blend of blues, rock, Mandinka, and Tuareg music; Strange o’clock immerses you in a
world brimming with charm and energy. A journey through music without borders, one that revitalizes and unites.

Cély: vocals, calabash, tambourine
Christophe Balasakis: guitars, loops
