about

Album en vente sur itunes

L’afrobeat combattant du Nigéria, le highlife dansant du Ghana, le bikutsi Camourenais ou la musique Mandingue d’Afrique occidentale sont autant d’influences que les neuf musiciens ont infusé dans la soul, mixé à du jazz, greffé sur du funk.

En canalisant son énergie et sa furia initialement taillées pour enflammer les rues, Balaphonics a su développer un son et des compositions à même d’être couchées sur disque. C’est dans ce matériau qu’est forgé AFRO MASSIVE SOUNDSYSTEM, premier album qui enjambe sans peine le piège de la transposition pure et simple d’une fougue live sur support audio.

Very clearly : a high voltage musical endeavor, driven by the potential difference between these two energy sources.

Their sound is under influence of the London scene : Kokoroko for their sense of melody, Nubyan Twist for the weaving of soul-jazz vocal textures. ... more
