LIVE BAND – DANCE

Stage form / possibility of technical autonomy

The need to dance, to bring to life the music that goes with it, has given rise to the urge to bring toge­ther funk, afro­beat and a wide range of other influences to get the par­ty going ! While funk takes root in our most ingrai­ned refe­rences, afro­beat turns these geo­me­tric repre­sen­ta­tions of rhythm on their head. This inver­sion effect creates a move­ment favou­rable to a new trance, with subtle arti­cu­la­tions that are neces­sa­ry for the most modern rebounds.

The Kinyon­ga mem­bers are no stran­gers to mul­ti-dis­ci­pli­na­ry crea­tions, mixing music, dance, the open air and the stages. They embark audiences on a jour­ney through the here and now, invi­ting them to expe­rience what’s being per­for­med live, trans­cen­ding eras and styles : Dance is at the heart of Kinyon­ga’s per­for­mances, and is what makes them so spe­cial. Their musi­cal uni­verse is backed up by an MC and a bass player who are also dan­cers, and who are hap­py to get the audience moving !
