Hi-Life Afrobeat,yaaba funk,funk
AFROBEAT NO LIMIT

AFROBEAT NO LIMIT



Apr 11 2009 4:07 PM




Grâce à l’Afrobeat, c’est à dire sa force nucléaire et son pouvoir dansant, Fela voulait libérer l’Afrique de toutes sortes d’oppressions !
La nuit Afrobeat No Limit est l’occasion de se retrouver au coeur de ce groove polymorphe combinant le jazz, le funk, la soul et les rythmes africains.



DELE SOSIMI Afrobeat Orchestra

Dele Sosimi a le secret de l’Afrobeat. Clavier de Fela de 1979 à 1986, co-fondateur de Femi Kuti & The Positive Force, il est actuellement basé à Londres en tant que maître incontestable de l’Afrobeat.
Sa musique très inspirée du roi Fela et de l’univers Yoruba est un mélange de funk, de groove lancinant, de high-life, de jazz chaudement cuivré et des rythmes traditionnels du Nigeria.
Alchimiste et griot moderne de l’Afrobeat, c’est sur scène que l’on mesure la puissance de son canon massif qui enflamme les salles, prouvant qu’il possède lui aussi cette lampe récupérée de la concession familiale de Lagos pour irradier le public.



ANG The Afrobeat New Generators

Le groove unique et l'énergie incandescente qui font la force de l'Afrobeat.



SHINRI

C’est d’abord la sensation, la voix soul suffisamment trempée, capable de survoler la scène londonienne dans toutes ses tendances actuelles.
Sa trajectoire traverse celle de Janis Joplin, Tracy Chaplin et Aretha Franklin. Mais en l’écoutant on constate que son originalité réside dans la synthèse des grands courants et de la musique moderne.


En concert gratuit au Forum de 20h à 22h.



DJ AFROBEAT - A FROM E

Highlife, afro funk, afrobeat et electro-jazz...

L’occasion de se laisser embarquer par ce groove en ignition, unique,
polyhybride, de funk, de rock, de jazz et du vaudou yoruba...


GHETTO BLASTER :
Après avoir martelé un afrobeat rageur dans les années 80, Ghetto Blaster
continue d’enflammer les salles grâce à leur style afro-soul-funk bien
encré dans le métissage. Ils rendront hommage à Ringo l’ex-batteur de Fela
Kuti & Egypt 80, accompagnés d’autres figures de légende de l’afrobeat,
lors d’une nuit synonyme de fête et de transe !


THE AFROROCKERZ & AMAYO (ANTIBALAS) :
Les Afrorockerz expérimentent le vaste champ du rock, de la soul et de la
pop, en y injectant un souffle nouveau : le dirty afrobeat groove !
Le featuring avec Duke Amayo, le bouillonnant spiritual leader d’Antibalas Afrobeat Orchesta, s’annonce explosif !


KIALA & FRIENDS
Formé d’un septet ciselé de feu dont Lulendo à la voix de satain, et le doux
dingue Jean-Jacques Elangué au sax tenor entre autres, Kiala crée une
musique tirée de son périple en Europe, au Japon, en faisant une longue
pause au Congo (ex-Zaïre) – son pays d’enfance avec des morceaux tels que M’Songo, Mokili.
Le récit s’achève avec « Together », époustouflant duo phénoménal avec Sandra Nkake !

- DJ FLORO, la référence du mix afrobeat / funk / electro-latino-jazz !
REPUBLICAFROBEAT : Tibute to the Legend of Afrobeat : Fela Anikulapo Kuti.
REPUBLICAFROBEAT place l’afrobeat dans le son moderne en reprenant les créations d’une myriade d’artistes, tels que Tony Allen, Femi Kuti, Keziah Jones, Fatboy Slim, Masters at work, Zuco 130... dont la plupart revisitent avec aisance le répertoire du King Fela.

Le Dj vedette de GENERATIONS ALL STARZ sur Générations FM sera aux commandes de la machine afro funk, pour une Nuit Afrobeat Dance Floor.
La playList de cet alchimiste de bonnes vibrations est impressionnante : de l’afro funk au latino, en passant par la world music et l’afrobeat.
Dj Juan est "un sélecteur", qui met du bon son pour faire kiffer les gens.
