Gloriah Bonheur unveils AFRIQUE, an intense and symbolic music video in which music becomes a manifesto celebrating women as the original matrix of the world.
Driven by a radiant and deeply expressive voice, the project sits within an artistic vision that blends memory, spirituality and commitment. Drawing on African and Caribbean oral traditions, AFRIQUE emerges as a vibrant work that is both intimate and universal, reflecting on heritage, transmission and the creative power of the feminine.
A manifesto rooted in memory
AFRIQUE unfolds like a collective pulse, a heartbeat shared between a continent and its daughters. The encounter between Gloriah Bonheur’s voice and Chérif Soumano’s kora playing creates a spiritual and powerful resonance.
Inspired by oral storytelling traditions, the piece becomes a space of reclaiming and reinterpreting feminine identity, long shaped by domination and erasure. Each sound recalls the strength of ancestral narratives and their urgent relevance in the present moment.
Nema, an EP between heritage and modernity
With Nema, Gloriah Bonheur delivers a five track EP that brings together bele rhythms, Caribbean influences, jazz and Afro diasporic soundscapes. The project explores intimate and collective memory through songs such as Manzel Lucienne, a tribute to her grandmother, and Sa Nou Ye, which honours the people of Martinique and displaced communities from Africa, India and China. Each track becomes an offering, a bridge between past, present and future, shaped by a deeply rooted yet contemporary artistic vision.
A voice connecting memory and future
Through AFRIQUE and the EP Nema, Gloriah Bonheur asserts an artistic language of transmission and awareness. Her work goes beyond music, becoming a space of healing and celebration where ancestral memory feeds future imaginaries.
By honouring feminine figures and multiple heritages, she reminds us that remembering is also a form of liberation, and that creation begins with listening to what came before.
