In Chad, musicians are working to strengthen the connection between traditional instruments such as the harp, the guitar, and the balafon—a wooden xylophone with a resonant sound—and modern music. This effort aims to preserve cultural heritage while making it relevant to contemporary audiences. Soléa Damas, from the South of Chad, is a musician, sculptor, harpist, and guitarist who has become known for his work that highlights these ancestral sounds. His first album, released in 2018, was praised for its originality and has inspired many young people to follow in his footsteps, learning to play these instruments and even making them themselves. Soléa Damas's music blends traditional melodies with modern rhythms, creating a unique sound that resonates with both older and younger generations. His influence is growing, and he is seen as a key figure in the movement to keep traditional music alive in Chad. Many young musicians are now training in the practice of playing these instruments, which have been used for centuries in ceremonies, storytelling, and daily life. Olivier Monodji recently attended a training session at the cultural and artistic center "Kaya Kendé," which translates to "The Harp Professionals." This center plays an important role in preserving and teaching the skills needed to play traditional instruments. At the session, Monodji witnessed firsthand how knowledge of these instruments is being passed down from experienced musicians to younger generations. The efforts at "Kaya Kendé" and the work of artists like Soléa Damas are helping to ensure that traditional instruments remain a vital part of Chad's cultural identity. By combining ancient sounds with modern styles, these musicians are not only preserving their heritage but also creating new opportunities for artistic expression and community engagement.
