" Porto Seguro "

with Brice Kapel

More than a singer, Brice Kapel is a magician. He writes a world music inspired by Togolese lullabies, world rock, pop and reaggae. He sings wonderfully and makes the public, children and adults alike, sing and dance as he recounts African or Breton legends. Poetic, tender and funny, Brice Kapel is pure talent, bursting with energy and a striking cheerfulness. He is a message, a window on another world.

Porto Seguro is the name of the village where Brice's mother was born in south-east of Lomé, Togo. It is also the reassuring port, the land we finally reach or the last leg of a trip. Mixing versions of songs from U2, Daniel Lanois, Sting and Peter Gabriel, as well as tunes with African sounds and songs bearing messages, Porto Seguro is the summary of Brice's life through his French and Togolese cultures, the product of his human encounters and musical influences.

During the show, Brice Kapel tells his story to the audience who itself becomes actors in the play. Adult and children become part of the staged "game" and interpret some of his sixteen songs along with him. The tunes, which are in French, English and Mina, Brice Kapel's mother tongue, speak of childhood reverie but also implicitly bring up much deeper subjects, such as education, the death of loved ones, etc.

Brice Kapel is from everywhere: Togo, where he was born, Paris, where he arrived in 1970, the Bosquets projects in Montfermeil, where he grew up, and the United States, where he studied and made a high-profile tour in April 2008. Brice Kapel carries around a history that transcends borders. His personal and musical wealth is drawn from the intersections of all of his different parts.

Porto Seguro is a playful, interactive and pedagogical performance which delights young and old. Come and enjoy this unique show in Buffalo!
