A musical journey from Nelson Mandela’s homeland in South Africa to the shores of Morocco. Winner of the 2016 Prix de la Diversité Culturelle, Gotta Lago, an artist originally from the Ivory Coast, embodies all the richness, beauty, and warmth of Africa, in its traditions and cultural diversity. Guitarist, pianist, multi-percussionist, exceptional singer, actor, and storyteller, he is a fixture on the Montreal world music scene. A melting of various musical styles, taken from his immense repertoire. A participatory show that only he knows the secret to.
