\nSpecial Event! with BANTUNANI
\n(Afrogroove)<\/p>\n
One is intrigued listening to this wild group with vindictive and melancholic undertones. This \u00ab multiracial \u00bb group proposes a nu-rumba concept based on afro-groove fusion, where afro-rhythms meet hip-hop, funk, soul, and jazz. The group\u2019s songs are powerful and aware. Bantunani\u2019s music is both a consciousness raising and a dancing music.<\/p>\n
Under the driving force of Michel Nzau, the group is a perfect blend between traditional and modern rhythms where every member brings in his or her own musical culture. The group is in perpetual re-evaluation of its artistic approach vis-a-vis its artistic and humanistic objectives. So since its creation in 2006 the life of the groups has been rich and eventful, witnessing an evolution in its constitution.
\nThe rhythmic core, made of the drummer Johnny Millebaga or of D\u00e9sir\u00e9 (Dezzy Drums) and of the base player Niwa Koshi, is always maintained in its blending with other influences. Umberto Luambo is the co-founder and guitar player of the group. One recognizes the african style of his playing that can also call in hard rock elements or (\u00ab guitar cocotte style \u00bb!).<\/p>\n
This is the nucleus of the group around which other artists gravitate, enriching the Bantunani experience. An experience that is renewed with each album. But we must not forget the surprising, sensual and languorous chorus that adds itself to this electro-acoustic combination, and most of all the mesmerizing energy of the lead singer, Michel Nzau who transforms dance and music into instruments at the service of the verb.<\/p>\n
Bantunani is a voyage, through modern groove, characterized by its musical and humanistic quest.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n
