Kolinga

The group Kolinga presents its new album at the Théâtre des 2 Rives in Charenton-le-Pont, blending R'n'B, soul, funk, gospel and reggae.

Drawing on a range of influences that run through soul, funk, gospel, reggae and R'n'B, the Kolinga musical project stands out for an acoustic and organic approach to its arrangements. The group's repertoire centres on original compositions that set powerful vocal textures against carefully crafted instrumental structures, inherited from Afro-American traditions and world music.

On stage, Kolinga deploys a collective energy in which each member finds their place within a tight-knit line-up. The set highlights the rapport between the musicians, offering a live performance faithful to the density of the studio recordings while leaving a central place for improvisation and ensemble dynamics. The group favours closeness with the audience to foster attentive listening.

This evening is aimed at lovers of contemporary music in search of sonic crossovers and sincere artistic propositions. For this date, the Théâtre des 2 Rives offers a seated or semi-seated configuration suited to listening to the nuances of this repertoire, far from the stereotyped formats of the large venues.
