Biographie : A BIG DOSE OF IMAGES HAVING A LINK TO THE LAND AND EARTH, CULTURE, HISTORY AND COSMOGONY ------ Sahad means "harvest" in serer and "resurrection" in wolof. It is also the first name of the lead singer of Sahad and The Nataal Patchwork. This group is a cultural crossroads where musicians from different backgrounds meet. Together, they are part of the current youth movement who have a new lease on African music. With a very refined style their vibrations transport, move, and transcend the body. The universal language of their melodies and rhythms speak to our souls. Sahad sings in several languages, filling the texts with a certain spirituality and insistance on our humanity. The goal of this accumulation is to share a message of love and tolerance. ------- AWARDS AND COMPETITIONS Official selection SXSW South by South West - Austin, Etats Unis Visa for Music -Rabat, Maroc "Tanit d’or" Journées Musicales de Carthage - Tunisie Finalist of the Marché International de l'Edition musicale - France "Afro Pépites show" Le Rêve africain - France -------- THE FIRST ALBUM Jiw is the first album of Sahad and the Nataal patchwork which is a long conquest of Research and the starting point of a discovering adventure of the musical practices.
