\u00abStrikingly melodic, and eminently danceable\u00bb – San Francisco Bay Guardian\u2028Pour SuperAfrican<\/i>, l\u2019auteur-compositeur-interpr\u00e8te am\u00e9ricain Sila a puis\u00e9 dans ses souvenirs d\u2019enfance, \u00e9poque o\u00f9 il habitait un village situ\u00e9 \u00e0 75 km de Nairobi au K\u00e9nya.\u00a0 \u00abL\u2019album est constitu\u00e9 des styles de musique qui ont accompagn\u00e9 mon enfance.\u00a0 J\u2019\u00e9coutais Voice of America et j\u2019entendais James Brown, Miles Davis, Bob Marley, Otis Redding, Michael Jackson, Prince, et Jimi Hendrix.\u00a0 La radio locale, elle, faisait jouer Miriam Makeba, Ang\u00e9lique Kidjo et Fela Kuti\u00bb, explique Sila.\u00a0 \u2028Bien que la totalit\u00e9 des paroles soient en anglais, l\u2019album est tr\u00e8s \u00abinternational\u00bb, multiethnique, comme Sila lui-m\u00eame.\u00a0 \u00a0SuperAfrican<\/i> se veut un regard sur la musique Noire am\u00e9ricaine \u00e0 travers le regard d\u2019un expatri\u00e9 africain qui aspire au r\u00eave am\u00e9ricain, tout en racontant son exp\u00e9rience dans sa terre d\u2019accueil et qui s\u2019adapte \u00e0 sa nouvelle culture, sans pour autant perdre son identit\u00e9 d\u2019origine.\u00a0 \u2028En cette \u00e8re d\u2019\u00e9chantillonnages et de modifications vocales de studio, SuperAfrican<\/i> se d\u00e9marque par ses instruments organiques.\u00a0 En fait, non moins de 27 musiciens ont particip\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019enregistrement!\u00a0 \u00abEnregistrer une section de cordes en studio \u00e9tait un r\u00eave qui devenait r\u00e9alit\u00e9\u00bb, affirme-t-il.\u00a0 Et certains des meilleurs musiciens de la r\u00e9gion de San Francisco ont mis leur talent \u00e0 contribution : des membres des groupes de Santana, de Stevie Wonder, de Michael Franti & Spearhead, du Mickey Hart Band, du Jazz Mafia et bien d\u2019autres.\u00a0 \u00catre entour\u00e9 de tels talents \u00abm\u2019a pouss\u00e9 \u00e0 me surpasser, tant au niveau de la composition, de l\u2019\u00e9criture, du chant que de la r\u00e9alisation\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Paru en 2010, Black President<\/i>, l\u2019album pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent de Sila, s\u2019est m\u00e9rit\u00e9 le prix Outstanding World Music Album<\/i> (album de Musique du monde exceptionnel) au gala annuel NAACP Image Awards (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) devan\u00e7ant entre autres Zap Mama et Omou Sangare.\u00a0 \u00ab\u00catre reconnu au niveau national m\u2019a pouss\u00e9 \u00e0 travailler tr\u00e8s fort sur SuperAfrican<\/i>\u00bb, raconte Sila.\u00a0 Je me devais d\u2019\u00eatre \u00e0 la hauteur de cet honneur.\u00a0 L\u2019album pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent \u00e9tait une collaboration avec le Afrofunk Experience, mais cette fois, il s\u2019agit v\u00e9ritablement d\u2019une oeuvre solo.\u00bb\u2028\u201cAs as young boy growing up in Kenya, I loved reading comic books,\u201d Sila relates. \u201cSuper heroes inspired me to be creative, strong and hopeful. But these superheroes didn\u2019t look like me and the places where their adventures took place didn\u2019t resemble the world I lived in at all. There\u2019s a big difference between Gotham City and Nairobi, Soweto, or Dakar. So I thought, why not create an African superhero who addresses the issues that kids in Africa face? SuperAfrican is a hero who fights against corruption, greed and ecological injustice. My hope is that he can inspire young kids in Africa to learn how to be resilient and become better human beings.\u201d<\/p>\n
