TONTON IDRISS & ses révélations JDTJ et Emma - Festival international Nuits d'Afrique 2026
Pour terminer le Festival en apothéose, Idriss le Viking Noir, qu’on surnomme affectueusement Tonton pour souligner son rôle auprès de la relève, invite ses “petits” du Togo et de Côte d’Ivoire à se mêler à la fête.

🇨🇮 🇲🇱 A born showman with the ebullience of a radio talent show host, the charismatic Idriss le Viking Noir was the obvious choice to host this series, which celebrates the versatility, contemporary appeal and undeniable influence of Mandinka music, which Nuits d’Afrique has proudly promoted for the past 40 years. Set to groovy beats, like a slightly rebellious sage, the charming and fun-loving Idriss shares his wisdom and recounts stories about life in his resonant voice with its subtle reggae inflections.
For an uplifting close to the Festival, Idriss le Viking Noir—affectionately known as Tonton (Uncle) because of his commitment to emerging talent—invites his “young’uns” from Togo and Côte d’Ivoire to join in the festivities.
