Suzi Silva presents “FAD’AZZ”

Fad’AZZ is neither Fado nor Jazz. It’s a meeting of styles, sounds and colours.

A hybrid and mestizo project. Fad’AZZ expresses itself in Portuguese but also in French and tries to bring together Fado and Jazz by crossing the characteristics of each musical genre.

This project presents jazzy arrangements on fado standards and original compositions from this mix of universes, including other music’s such as the sounds of Latin jazz, Bossa nova and other World Music’s.

This project brought together musicians such as Bruno Roy (drums and percussion), Ivan Garzon (jazz guitar), Olivier Babaz (double bass) and Yannick Anctil (piano) and recounted with the special participations of guests Sergiu Popa (accordion), Liberto Medeiros (Portuguese guitar) and Paulo Bottas (composition and piano).

With the support of CALQ (Conseil des Arts et Lettres du Québec), Fad’AZZ took shape

Island of Gorée a UNESCO World Heritage Centre

The island of Gorée lies off the coast of Senegal, opposite Dakar. From the 15th to the 19th century, it was the largest slave-trading centre on the African coast. Ruled in succession by the Portuguese, Dutch, English and French, its architecture is characterized by the contrast between the grim slave-quarters and the elegant houses of the slave traders. Today it continues to serve as a reminder of human exploitation and as a sanctuary for reconciliation.

The Island of Goree has an outstanding Universal Value, it was designated a historic site in 1944, with safeguarding measures in 1951 (under the colonial era). It was subsequently inscribed on the national heritage list in 1975 and on the World Heritage List in 1978
