Akpé Motion

From the venue:

Event Description

Akpé, an expression from the Togolese language, can be translated as “ Thank you”.Akpé Motion is a group of 4 musicians who share a desire to share, a desire for soniccolor, a desire to emancipate themselves from the codes that limit music, and thus
classify, hierarchize, or even strangle it..... voice-over
Akpé Motion is a freedom lived by each individual, but at the service of the dialoguewithout which group music cannot be born, cannot exist, cannot emancipate itself...
Akpé Motion is a shared vision of the need for dialogue between cultures, whateverthey may be! We enjoyed playing with Kanak, Madagascan, African, Polynesian,Qatari, Mexican, and American musicians... because the exchange was joyful, fruitful,rich in sounds, shared smiles, and the desire to get to know each other better...
Akpé Motion is a shared desire to show that music is part of the cultural universalism
that every human being should carry as their standard.
Akpé Motion is about sounds and images that we hope will reflect our desire for
otherness.
Akpé Motion is the story of each individual expressed by voice, by instrument, bybody in different tenses to encourage the listener to enter our inner journey, ajourney that sometimes passes from sound to image, from image to sound, without
forgetting the silences on which our music also feeds.
