Rebel Music
A proposal by La Boîte à Musique and Cabaret Aléatoire.
Created in 2007 by drummer Ahmad Compaoré, REBEL MUSIC is a multidisciplinary event designed as a festival. The concept was born of the jam sessions organised by La Boîte à Musique and held at the Friche La Belle de Mai in Marseilles. A place of gathering for musicians from the new local jazz scene, where artists and public set aside a moment to exchange.
The project took shape around the repertoire composed by Ahmad Compaoré and a part of improvisation for which an artistic direction soon became necessary: Ahmad set up a work method based on reflex, listening and skilful codes of conduction, which allows to go beyond sheer technique to give an interpretation. Indeed, here is the real contemporary music, alive and mutant. Urban rhythms and world cultures sustain the energetic swing, in constant evolution. In a dynamics of creation and rebellion, art establishes itself more than ever as a resistance and a struggle. Let’s meet to forge our own effervescent music...
REBEL MUSIC is established as an atypical event dedicated to collective creation beyond styles and genres (music, dance, visual arts, urban cultures, new technologies), gathering artists from the local music scene and discovery of new talents, on the basis of 2 editions per year (spring and autumn).
Keep spirit sharp, your eyes peeled... and be all ears!
With the support of Friche La Belle de Mai, SelfWorld, Radio Grenouille and Digitick.
