About
“With joy” (La Presse, 2025), Montreal discovered this cheerful artist with a strong personality last year on the Festival’s outdoor stage. Like Rokia Traoré, Amadou and Mariam, and Marema, Melodji has participated in the RFI Discovery Awards, where she was a finalist in 2015. For over 20 years, the diva—who helped make the famous Carnivore club in N’Djamena, a mecca of the local music scene, a place to be—has been putting her powerful voice, with its perfectly controlled tremolo, to work with traditional Chadian rhythms, which she beautifully infuses with blues, soul, R&B, and jazz.
The activity takes place in all weather conditions, unless safety is compromised
