Hélico Music
LiNDiGo
Maloya / Reunion Island
Led by its charismatic frontman Olivier Araste, the Reunion Island band Lindigo has been playing Maloya music since 1999. Their sound is rooted in the heritage of Madagascar and the past, but is also resolutely contemporary.
Kin'Gongolo Kiniata
Electro funk / Congo
In the heart of rebellious Kinshasa, many unusual music groups are emerging, and Kin'gongolo Kiniata is THE band not to be missed right now. The five artists captivate us with music that blends electro, borders on rock ‘n’ roll, and caresses the rhythms of the country in the Congolese style.
Guiss Guiss Bou Bess
Afro-electro / Senegal - France
Guiss Guiss Bou Bess is a window onto Dakar's young music scene. The duo, consisting of Senegalese Mara Seck and French Stéphane Costantini, is supported by the virtuoso percussion of Aba Diop. They fuse the rhythms and songs of sabar with global bass culture; electro-sabar is born.
Bedouin Burger
Electro folk / Lebanon - Syria
Lynn Adib flirts with jazz and Arabic music with insolence; her voice betrays her Bedouin nature and invites even the most sedentary souls to travel.
Zeid Hamdan, the “Pope of underground music in the Middle East,” has managed to rekindle a taste for Arabic music in a whole new generation with delightful productions that only he knows the secret to.
Tiganá Santana
Philosophical Folk / Brazil
African ancestry and culture inspire the music of this multilingual artist, the first Brazilian artist to sing and compose in African languages such as Kikongo and Kimbundu from Angola and Congo. His pen and voice are equally brilliant when expressing the sounds of his native Portuguese, Spanish, English, or French.
Elektre
Rebetiko electronic / France - Greece
Rooted in Greek folklore, Elektre's melodies explore urban sounds to create a haunting, energetic, and danceable live performance.
Clement Janinet & Adama Sidibe
Jazz World / France - Mali
In 2020 Clément Janinet goes to Bamako to meet Adama Sidibe, the last professional Sokou player in Mali. From their meeting was born a repertoire, “Concerto for Sokou”.
Congolese Rumba / DRC
At the heart of Kinshasa's Matonge neighborhood, Les Papys de la Rumba are a living symbol of Congolese rumba in all its richness, warmth, and elegance. Based on the rooftop terrace of the Hôtel La Crèche, this intergenerational group has been playing the legendary sounds of Congolese music for years in an atmosphere that is both intimate and popular.
