Ouanani (band)
OUANANI is a world music group formed in 2004 in Montréal by Sadio "Djali Sadio" Sissokho from Dakar, Senegal and Jean "Jean Jean" Girard-Arsenault from Alma, Québec, Canada. They play as a duo or with musicians from all over the world. They sing in many languages : French, Wolof, Khassonke, Spanish and English. With organic-electronic sounds and a self-deprecating sense of humour, OUANANI fuses Québec with Africa, Caribbean and Latin America. OUANANI tangles a wide variety of themes such as immigration, racism, love, seduction and surrealism. Some of their accreditations include the following : Album of the Week (ICI, 2008) Three times #1 on CIBL's Francophone charts in 2008 Audience Award at The festival International de la Chanson de Granby in 2004 Discography Studio album "Vote etnik" produced by Jean Arsenault, Ouanani 2007 in Montreal, Canada Single "La Chikunguña" (Ivan Duran mix, Stonetree Records, 2017) – 3:31 – Words & music : Jean Arsenault.
