The appointment
On Thursday, the Apéros Klam met their audience for the third time at the port, where more than 200 people gathered to enjoy the music and the family and festive atmosphere. This time, the stage welcomed Le Cuarteto Tafí, “the most Argentinian of Toulouse groups”, as the group likes to introduce itself. Visibly won over, the audience danced for over an hour to the sound of a flamenco guitar, an oriental oud and Afro-Latin percussion. The quartet was born in 2011 during a meeting in Argentina between Ludovic Deny, Mathieu Guenez, Frédéric Theiler and Leonor Harispe, the singer. Their universe is inspired by salsa, flamenco and rock influences, including lively Afro-Latin percussion solos.
Committed artists
“They can tear off all the flowers, nothing will stop spring from coming.” The singer quoted the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda before starting the concert. Coming from an Argentinian family exiled in Europe at the end of the 1970s, she has a taste for fighting for values that are dear to her. Leonor Harispe writes poetic and committed texts.
The audience even mingled with the artists to perform a capella, The uprising of the eartha song committed to the preservation of the planet. “August 1st in Argentina is the celebration of the Pachamama or Mother Earth. This deity nourishes, protects and supports human beings. The tradition is to bury a clay pot containing food because it is necessary to feed the Pachamama to ensure its protection. And when nature is in danger, the Pachamama revolts “Leonor Harispe explained to the audience. After several encores, the singer invited the audience to join the quartet on Sunday at the Bout du Monde festival in Crozon (Finistère), where the group is continuing its summer tour in Brittany.
Sunday August 4, Bout du Monde festival, at 3 p.m. and 9 p.m.
