⭐ LA BOA meets Tony Allen (Colombie) ⭐
Ven 15.05.26 l Afro-Latin Afrobeat ensemble l 7 musiciens sur scène

La BOA (Orquesta Afrobeat Bogotá) est l’une des forces majeures de l’afrobeat latino-américain. Fondé en 2012, le groupe développe un langage singulier à la croisée de l’afrobeat nigérian, des traditions afro-cubaines et des rythmes du Pacifique colombien.

Sur scène, le groupe déploie un afrobeat orchestral puissant, entre grooves caribéens, rythmes afro-colombiens et énergie collective. La présence de la chanteuse et percussionniste Diana Sanmiguel donne une vraie force au live.

From the liner notes :
Miles famously said that the essence of music inhabited the “space between the
notes.” In a similar vein, Damon Albarn explained that
what made Tony a singular musician was his ability to create space, “the space of
Tony... to allow other things to inhabit the mind.”
“I play yours, you play mine. The music never ends.”
