Musical tale | The Afro Carnival of the Animals

Musical composition by Florent Briqué
and lyrics by Blick Bassy
Based on the work by Camille Saint-Saëns

What happens when the monarchy falters? This is what the lion, king of kings, discovers during the traditional enthronement carnival. The people of the savannah and the forest, weary of his legendary poise, are forced to abandon him.
Royal, is calling for democratic elections. Elephants, aquariums and even fossils have their say in the debate!
With rhythms of Congolese rumba, Nigerian afrobeat and Beninese salsa, Florent Briqué and Blick Bassy have decided to revisit this emblematic work by Camille Saint-Saëns. Together, they offer a new framework and another horizon to the original tale. This piece opens our Western ears to the richness of the
African musical traditions.
