With a career spanning four decades, Grupo Pilon have crossed a century, a millenium, countless fashions, and are still here! The Funaná-pioneers from Luxembourg and Cabo Verde invite you to celebrate the release of their fifth album “Nu Sta Li” (We Are Here) in Grounds.
Grupo Pilon is a Cape Verdean band founded in the 80s, in the Gare district of Luxembourg City, by children of the first Cape Verdeans who came to settle in Luxembourg in the 70s. Their musical style Funaná, from the island of Santiago, is the music that was once banned during the time of the Portuguese colonists because of its rebellious spirit.
The new lp “Nu Sta Li” is an album that represents the compromise of Grupo Pilon with their culture. Through this album, the band pay tribute to their glorious elders who had known how to elevate their music to the level of excellence. During a long time, Funaná was only played by the peasants of Santiago using an accordion and an iron bar to beat out the rhythm with a knife. But Grupo Pilon, together with the band Bulimundo and their mentor Carlos Alberto Silva Martins alias ‘Katxas’, gave Funaná a new face by mixing the traditional Cape Verdean sounds with electronic instruments.
Their 40-year career made them play countless shows, such as a memorable gig in Praia, Cabo Verde in front of 4000 people, made them go on tour in the United States, The Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Portugal and the United Kingdom and had them sign with New-York based label Ostinato Records. And now they are ready to make you dance at Grounds!
