Eyo’Nlé ★ Brass band from Benin ★ Salón Sonoro+ DJ before and after the band
Saturday 9.11 @ Mezrab
★
A special night ahead at the Mezrab stage!
The band Eyo’Nlé will bring us the rivival of 60s-80s Benin, Le Karnaval de Dahomey.
In those days, voodoo music had already overwhelmed instruments in Benin. Influenced by Afro-American music such as Funk, Soul & Jazz but also Latin- American music and High Life & Afrobeat (Dahomélo, The Black Santoagos, Los Commandos, James Brown…)
All these music styles are trying to find themselves, listening to each other, flirting, harmonizing, and giving birth to the riches music in Benin: The Djeki Style or the Afro-Cuban Salsa.
Today, no other music can compete with these rhythms, these brass, drums and inimitable singing. The project of Eyo’nlé is to preserve this musical period which made their parents dancing and is unfortunately beginning to disappear with them. But nothing is being lost, all is being transformed!
Eyo’Nlé meaning “let’s be happy” a term of phrases in the Yoruba language shared with Beninses, Togolese, Nigerians, Brazilians and Cubans.
