On September 13, Batucada Fest is filled with the magic of Africa with the Thioune Brothers Concert.!
The band, made up of some of the best instrumentalists in Senegal who have been joined by European artists from different musical backgrounds, works on a repertoire full of references to musical diversity. Thus, the traditional sounds of West African cultures such as toukouler or diola are joined by others of more contemporary creation such as afrobeat or reggae.
Hermanos Thioune was born in 2009 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria thanks to Aly and Khaly Thioune, two brothers who graduated in performing arts from the National School of Art of Senegal and received scholarships from the University of Paris. He has three albums on the market of African music fused with other world music rhythms. The first of them is Yewoul Africa (2009). The second, from 2017, Souñou Yon (our path). The last one, Yen ak ñoun, is a sonorous claim that the roots of world music are found in Africa.
His music unites African drums and kora with electric guitar, bass or drums. The result is sounds like pop, folk, zouk love or salsa. Furthermore, Hermanos Thioune's music is committed to the causes that affect migrants and the problems that plague the African continent.
