La Fête de la Musique, also known as Make Music Day, is an annual celebration of music that takes place on June 21st around the world. This year, join us for a special live music show featuring the talented Malika Tirolien at La Cité des Rocheuses.
Malika Tirolien is a Montreal-based musician, songwriter, and producer originally from Guadeloupe. She has been garnering international attention for her creative collaborations and remarkable vocal abilities. Her electrifying performance on "I'm not the one" has gained over 1.7 million views on YouTube and is a standout track on the Grammy-winning album "Family Dinner" by Snarky Puppy, inspiring countless covers worldwide.
In 2020, Malika's group Bokanté was nominated for a Grammy award for their second album "What Heat." The group, which Malika leads as the singer and co-writer, has toured in over 20 countries since their formation in 2016. The nomination was a culminating point for this international group and a testament to Malika's talents as a musician and performer.
Malika's second album "HIGHER," released in 2021, is a fusion of R&B, Soul, Jazz, and Hip Hop, defined as "Highsoul." Co-produced with three-time Grammy winner Michael League, this album is the second installment of a four-album series. Malika's soaring voice immediately grabs your attention, and her well-crafted compositions present effusive emotions through conscious and engaged lyrics.
Malika's love, passion, and respect for music can be felt in the sparkling authenticity of her performances.

Remarquable chanteuse, musicienne, compositrice et productrice originaire de la Guadeloupe, elle est devenue une artiste reconnue à l’international grâce à ses nombreuses collaborations. C'est d'ailleurs depuis celle avec Snarky Puppy, le groupe américain lauréat de nombreux grammy awards, que le nom de Malika Tirolien circule dans les cercles de l'industrie musicale. Sa prestation électrisante de "I'm not the one", avec plus de 2 millions de visionnages sur YouTube, est reprise par des artistes dans le monde entier.
HIGHER est le deuxième volet d'une tétralogie représentant les quatre éléments, entamée avec Sur La Voie Ensoleillée en 2014. Ce premier album représentait la TERRE (les racines et l'ancrage) alors que HIGHER symbolise l'AIR (l'élévation et le vent de changement).
Co-produit par Michael League, lauréat de cinq grammy awards à ce jour et leader du célèbre groupe Snarky Puppy, HIGHER introduit un nouveau style musique: HighSoul, un mélange de R&B, Jazz, Soul et Hip hop qui servirait de soundtrack à un voyage psychédélique pour amateurs de cannabis et champignons hallucinogènes.
Les paroles sont partagées du point de vue d'une femme noire fictive qui relate son propre voyage spirituel entre colère et pardon dans un
tourbillon d'émotions.
