Super Rail Band de Bamako

From the Locomotive d’or to the Chèvrefeuille barge of the Convivencia Festival, the loud voices and undulating melodies, colored brasses and hair-raising guitars of the Super Rail Band from Bamako travel from swamp blues to urban mandingue rock. This band of the Buffet-Hotel of Bamako station, will be to modern mandingue music what E.T.Mensah were to high-life (Ghana), Mahlathini to mbaqanga (South Africa) or I.K. Dairo to juju music (Nigeria). Its successive singers – the most famous in the West are Salif Keita and Mory Kanté – have been the undisputed superstars of the Malian scene until the birth of Wassoulou music in the nineties. Encounter on the edge of the Canal du Midi!

Gojira on OC-TV.net

video interview Gojira
Formerly called Godzilla, the guys from the Landes of Gojira are born under the wing of Richard Gamba. Close to a melodic death metal, these monsters offer us incredible atmospheres on their records and on stage, with a faultless technique. A French band that is sure to find some success abroad. Unique, impetuous, brutal and lyrical at the same time, Gojira is a reference of the French scene that cannot be ignored.

Hey Gravity, Summer festival

Londonian rock band created in 2006, HEY GRAVITY ! is above all the project of singer Justine Berry, ex-leader of garage-rock band M.A.S.S.With no claim to revolutionize the genre, here is a wild garage rock with no worry about conventions, which aim is to share a weightless moment with Risen. Full of energy and led by two female voices, the punk rock quintet Hey Gravity ! leaves no respite, going brutally from one song to another. They offer us an appealing meal that, from time to time, seems like mashed potatoes but never like soup. Encounter at the Summer Festival !
