Biography

Known for its dynamic and impressive performances, Taafé Fanga has made a name for itself on the stages of numerous dance and world music festivals across Quebec over the past fifteen years. Their album Tamala, produced by Senegalese artist Élage Diouf, was released in 2012. Winner of the first prize at the Les Syli d’or world music competition in 2007, the group notably opened for the renowned Youssou N’Dour at L’Olympia as part of the Festival Nuits d’Afrique.

Artistic vision

“

“United by their shared passion for West African rhythms, the members of Taafé Fanga offer a unique experience through their performances, where music and dance merge into one. Inspired by their travels, experiences, and encounters, the troupe members redefine and adapt this language to their own image in a contemporary and urban style, while respecting the West African traditions that inspire them.”
