Mundial Montréal : Tara Moneka à La Sala Rossa

Événement

Tara Moneka est une artiste et chanteuse noire irakienne dont la musique fait le pont entre différentes cultures et traditions. Née à Bagdad et élevée dans une famille soufie, elle se tourne très tôt vers la musique, explorant les riches sonorités afro-soufies, arabes et swahilies. Son style mêle jazz, R&B, soul, funk, blues, maqam et afrobeat, créant un univers à la fois familier et résolument contemporain. Chantant en plusieurs langues : arabe, anglais, ourdou, espagnol, turc et swahili. Tara célèbre la diversité musicale comme un langage universel. Son parcours débute à 13 ans, lorsqu’elle se fait remarquer dans The Voice (Moyen-Orient) et collabore avec la Iraqi Children’s Culture House, des expériences qui façonnent son chemin artistique. En tant que leader de Dijlah, un groupe entièrement féminin nommé d’après le fleuve Tigre, elle utilise sa musique pour défendre les droits des femmes et leur empowerment. Au fil des années, elle a collaboré avec des institutions telles que le Aga Khan Museum, Koerner Hall, Uma Nota Culture et The Opera House. Sa musique dépasse le simple cadre sonore : elle crée un espace de rencontre entre passé et futur, Orient et Occident, où chaque performance devient un voyage de connexion, de transformation et de résistance aux frontières culturelles. Tara Moneka is a Black Iraqi artist and singer whose music bridges different cultures and traditions. Born in Baghdad and raised in a Sufi family, she turned to music at a very young age, exploring the rich sounds of Afro-Sufi, Arabic, and Swahili music. Her style blends jazz, R&B, soul, funk, blues, maqam, and Afrobeat, creating a sound that is both familiar and decidedly contemporary. She sings in several languages: Arabic, English, Urdu, Spanish, Turkish, and Swahili. Tara celebrates musical diversity as a universal language. Her journey began at age 13, when she caught the attention of judges on The Voice (Middle East) and collaborated with the Iraqi Children’s Culture House—experiences that shaped her artistic path. As the leader of Dijlah, an all-female group named after the Tigris River, she uses her music to advocate for women’s rights and empowerment. Over the years, she has collaborated with institutions such as the Aga Khan Museum, Koerner Hall, Uma Nota Culture, and The Opera House. Her music transcends the mere auditory realm: it creates a space where the past and future, the East and the West, meet, and where each performance becomes a journey of connection, transformation, and resistance to cultural boundaries.

CULTURE MONTRÉAL EN CARTE

About this map

Montréal has a rich cultural offering, but information is scattered across websites, social networks, noticeboards and posters. Getting an overview can be difficult. Montréal en culture aims to simplify discovery by bringing cultural activities together in all their variety. The project is also inspired, with some nostalgia, by the weekly calendar of the cultural magazine View, which featured a varied offering, from shows to talks and from popular events to more unconventional activities. Adding a map, Montréal en culture invites you to explore that richness across the city. Still a prototype, this independent project aims to become an essential reference for cultural outings in Montréal.

The site was originally designed for desktop use. A mobile interface is now available.

A broad understanding of culture

The directory takes a broad view of culture: artistic creation, presentation, heritage, knowledge sharing, and opportunities for discovery or participation. It covers the Montréal urban agglomeration, including its associated islands. Its scope develops with the sources and activities recorded.
