WORKSHOP “LET’S SING THE WALLOON REPERTOIRE”

In Wallonia, as elsewhere, oral tradition has left us thousands of songs and instrumental tunes. Work songs, children’s rhymes, evening songs, dance tunes… This music is now being rediscovered. The Melchior project offers a chance to immerse yourself in this music through a unique conference-workshop. The programme includes: a musical conference between past and present that will tell the story of these little-known musical traditions and, above all, that will show what they have to offer today through musical interventions. This will be followed by a singing workshop in which participants will learn a cramignon (a song from the Liège region) in a refined, contemporary arrangement. The afternoon will end with a public performance by all the participants, to open the concert by Zouratié Koné Trio.
