@ UB-City amphitheatre

Invitation available from the 18th March at the alliance

BBC Sound System, the local stars from Senegal, first shot to fame with the release of their first album “Thioukouly” in 1998. Now based out of Paris this music group, which consists of three young men, is a symbol of the multi-culture and multi-lingual traditions that exists in France. Their musical syllables not only convey the worldwide exoticism but are infused to life with the dreams that they carry from Senegal.
Kadou, Mansour and Mao are three artists with different personalities which lead to an explosive association on stage. Through their experiences, the band’s musical maturity has been strengthened allowing them to explore many African melodies like Tassou (the hip hop music’s origin) mixed with raga, hip hop, soul and even salsa rhythms. This music is a traditional and modern African culture fusion played in the Jamaican style and texts in wolof, peulh, mandingue, French and English languages. BBC sound system is not only inspired by their native areas in Dakar; these polyglot artists play easily with words leading to a mixed cultural music.

BBC SOUND SYSTEM, through their music, is constantly striving to promote the coming together of cultures while preserving their identity and originality.
