Diblo Dibala is none other than the creator of soukous and one of the architects of the golden age of this infectious musical genre. A true and respected legend, he has inspired several generations of young artists. Without exception, every single one of his appearances at the Nuits d’Afrique International Festival over the last 40 years has caused a sensation. Naturally, he’ll be there for this anniversary edition. And there is no doubt that once again he will cast a spell over the audience with his frenetic rhythms! Nicknamed ‘Machine Gun’ for his dexterity on the guitar and his maddening seven-beat rhythms, Diblo Dibala delivers an explosive soukous that builds the energy to a crescendo, challenging anyone to resist the urge to sway their hips. Another legend – and a mainstay of leading bands such as Bella Bella (with Kanda Bongo Man), Loketo (with Aurlus Mabélé) and Matchatcha – Diblo Dibala continues to make his mark after a career spanning more than 50 years. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/montreal/diblo-dibala-et-matchatcha-festival-international-nuits-dafrique-2026/200030284607244 - **Event Categories**: festivals, music, entertainment, live-music, art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 20 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Montreal - **state**: QC - **country**: Canada - **location**: 4374 Saint Laurent Blvd, Montreal, QC, Canada, Quebec H2W 1Z5 - **lat**: 45.51907 - **long**: -73.58464 - **full address**: 4374 Saint Laurent Blvd, Montreal, QC, Canada, Quebec H2W 1Z5 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: DIBLO DIBALA et MATCHATCHA - Festival international Nuits d'Afrique 2026 - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/a1f38d13f223e0ffe4a5505c91980c31d31bbb344a4e13a3760e11744c3b8e85-rimg-w1200-h628-dcededed-gmir?v=1783968254 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is DIBLO DIBALA et MATCHATCHA - Festival international Nuits d'Afrique 2026 being held? - **A:** DIBLO DIBALA et MATCHATCHA - Festival international Nuits d'Afrique 2026 takes place on Sun, 19 Jul, 2026 at 08:15 pm to Sun, 19 Jul, 2026 at 08:15 pm at 4374 Saint Laurent Blvd, Montreal, QC, Canada, Quebec H2W 1Z5. - **Q**: Who is organizing DIBLO DIBALA et MATCHATCHA - Festival international Nuits d'Afrique 2026? - **A:** DIBLO DIBALA et MATCHATCHA - Festival international Nuits d'Afrique 2026 is organized by Nuits d'Afrique. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Nuits d'Afrique's events? - **A:** Nuits d'Afrique has 111+ followers on AllEvents, reflecting a trusted and active community of event-goers who follow their events.
