Swing in the Mountains Festival - MALINKA Quartet
Presentation
From August 9 to 16, Serre Chevalier will host the 23rd edition of the Swing in the Mountains Festival, in a friendly atmosphere.
A festival rich in programming and artistic diversity, highlighting swing, blues, gospel, soul, jazz, and polyphonic singing from around the world.
The festival will pay tribute to the great Jamaican artist Jimmy Cliff, who left us a musical legacy filled with love and peace.
The festival's patroness is Emily Johnson, discovered by John McLaughlin and produced by Narada Michael Walden, the legendary Oscar-winning producer known for his work with Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, and Mariah Carey.
MALINKA Quartet:
A concert by the female quartet; MALINKA is a vocal and polyphonic journey around the world.
A cappella or accompanied (guitar, percussion, flute, harmonium…), reinterpreting songs from centuries-old oral traditions, borrowing musical arrangements from high-quality groups (Barbara Furtuna, Lo cor de la Plana, Evasion, Ando Drom, Chet Nuneta…) or composing their own pieces, they love above all to sing about peoples who live with the culture of traditional songs as a means of testimony, connection, and direct expression.
They are committed to conveying as sincerely as possible the revolt of an Italian protest song as well as the beauty of a Mexican legend, the emotion of a Gypsy song, or the depth of a Corsican mass…
In short, what deeply drives them is to sing about humanity, its emotions and feelings, with a profound love for music that naturally creates a connection between them and the audience. Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cctkG9hxoFk&list=RDcctkG9hxoFk&start_radio=1
