ELIK TARA GROUP
Once upon a time: ELIK TARA GROUP.....
A story full of beautiful meetings and music.
The tight-knit world music group ELIK TARA GROUP began its musical journey in 1997. But the story began much earlier. The members of the group grew up listening to various musical genres (makossa, soukous, zouk, rhumba, salsa, bossa nova, reggae, jazz, funk) which influenced their musical journey and finally brought them together. With ELIK TARA GROUP, they have found their own musical style together. They offer a unique and different sound to their fans, and take pride in the original music they write and share.
For more information, don't hesitate to contact them.
Bio
Born on February 6, 1960, in Otélé, Cameroon, Noah Ayi Aloys Claude, better known by his stage name Elik Tara, is a Canadian singer-songwriter of Cameroonian descent.
He began playing music at a very young age. At 8, he taught himself to play the balafon (an African xylophone) and occasionally accompanied the church choir in his village, Nkum Ékié, in Ngoumou, Cameroon. He arrived in France at the age of 10 and developed his musical curiosity: African music, reggae, rock, bossa nova, jazz, etc. Through various encounters, he created rehearsal studios in the Paris region, worked as a radio host, and participated in the exciting adventure of Studios Campus. With different groups, he toured France and Europe. In 1989, he produced the album "Eliktara (mbembe dzam)." Following a disagreement with the distributor, he stopped producing music and focused on event production: the Festival des Airs dans la Ville in Garges and the Scène & Voix festival in Picardy.
Since settling in Quebec in 2011, the joy of creating music has returned, and we are beginning to rediscover new compositions… listen to them on the Eliktaragroup YouTube channel
