About
With his charisma and flair for entertainment—much like an enthusiastic talent show host— Idriss the Black Viking was the perfect host for this series, which celebrates the profound influence, modernity, and versatility of Mandingo music—a tradition that Nuits d’Afrique has consistently championed over the past 40 years. Set to some seriously hot grooves, like a slightly rebellious sage, Idriss—a likable, uninhibited charmer—shares his wisdom and tells stories of life in his resonant voice, tinged with reggae accents.
Acoustic Reggae with Jab Djab
When the festive reggae—drenched in calypso and soca—of Jab Djab’s mischievous little devils meets the West African-style reggae of the laughing giant Idriss the Black Viking, the walls of the Ballatou shake with excitement and the crowd goes wild. Pure joy!
The activity takes place in all weather conditions, unless safety is compromised
