Show Description
“Bibi Tanga is the ambassador of Funk à la Francaise.. his album Dunya shows why”-WDR Funkhaus Europa
New Africa Live presents Bibi Tanga, a genre-bending original from the Central African Republic whose new album Dunya (Nat Geo Music) takes listeners on a wild, eclectic tour through the history and pre-history of funk, layering Afrobeat rhythms over electro-tinged soul and cosmopolitan trans-Atlantic grooves. Together with his band The Selenites, they forge a stunningly original new sound, and creates a space where Afro-futurism meets steampunk, Fela Kuti jams with Sidney Bechet, and Marcel Duchamp gets down to Chic.
New Africa Live is sponsored by New York Foundation of the Arts, a 501(c)3 organization.
