The group Bel Canto Tahiti took part in the Filao Festival for a week on December 10th in Saint-Pierre, Martinique. For the members of this troupe, they have just decided once that this final representation deserves “a rich year of being a part of the culture.” In this place the artists had previously written a beautiful program, with the interpretation of Mozart’s six nocturnes in Tahitian, but also other surprises with the ukulele, the Tahitian dance and the interpretation of a Martini chant.

Mozart’s six nocturnes in Tahitia

This troupe – founded just a year ago after Gabriel Cavallo, their mentor, died in 2021 – brought together the artists of Fenua, who had just been finalists of the “Voix of Outre-mer”, organized by Fabrice Di Falco Competition and Julien Leleu. “We’ve been a group of friends, been together for a few years and have a deep respect for music.”he gave the singer an encore. For logistical and financial reasons, the group will not be relocated entirely to Martinique, but at the same time promises a big spectacle. They present a local repertoire that also consists of classical pieces adapted to Tahiti. “That evening I made a great effort and rejuvenated myself in the Tahitian adaptation of the six Nocturnes of Mozart, realized by the local parolier Tapuarii Barbos.” »

A brave adaptation, Donc, for a déplacement synonym of consecration for the group. “We are somewhat aware that our culture can converse with the whole world and its loyal friends in our council towns.”trust Laëtitia Jullian. The concert also consists of performances on the ukulele and a special Polynesian dance designed specifically for the occasion. Bel Canto Tahiti will be released on December 10, 2024.
