Make A Plan: This Evening, Listen To A Young Musician From Paris {With Roots In Gabon, Africa}

Love exploring different kids of music? You must attend this concert by Tita Nzebi.

Alliance Française du Bengale will present a special concert featuring Tita Nzebi, a young musician from Paris with roots in central Africa’s Gabon. Nzebi is also known for recreating her south Gabonese village of Mbigou in Paris.

Her musical journey connects us with the little known Nzebi community of Gabon. Tita is also well-known for recreating her south Gabonese village of Mbigou in Paris. She was inspired by the exceptional musicians she has had as company in spearheading this unique initiative. She was pursuing law in Gabon when she started learning music from Sam Mapindi Tsoumbou, the Ngumi group art director and composer. Then she moved to Paris, where she started giving concerts across cafés and bars. In 2006, Tita produced her first album, M’biss Miti, directed by Congolese guitarist Sec Bidens. With her second album, Metiani (I mean that), she confirmed her talent as a lyricist and composer.

This is Tita’s maiden visit to India. She is also the first artist from Gabon to come to this country. She is in Bengal on a 16-day tour from 20 October. She has already collaborated with two folk musicians of Bengal — Gobinda Das Baul and Titas Sen.

Where: Alliance Française du Bengale, 57A Park Street, Park Mansions. Seating on first-come, first-served basis.

When: November 2, 7pm.
