The Complet'Mandingo
Dear colleagues,
We come back to you with some news about The Complet' Mandingo, the crazy walking balafons orchestra from France. They will be performing all around the worl in 2015 for it's 20 anniversary (Taiwan, Spain, Canada, France, UK, etc.), so we are looking for festivals, concert halls and others that could be interested to program this excellent street group.

These
musicians have formed a truly mobile balafons’ orchestra capable of
travelling anywhere! They have energy and communicative humor, love
challenges, and enjoy enrapturing the public, making it dance and smile.
Their musical repertoire is made up of original and festive
compositions in which they use their resonators to create sounds that
you would think, are electro and amplified. Playing an
interactive game, the Complet’Mandingue invites the crowd to join them
in singing melodies that are inspired by pop icons as well as
traditional West African music or funky and groovy tunes. Everyone is
invited to join the party and dance on popular pieces revisited
“balafon’s style”.
Although
the Complet’Mandingue is always adapting its sparkling inventions in
both acting and playing music in the streets, they also offer a new
performance, on stage, a great pleasure for musical fusion lovers.
Around the balafon, drums, percussion, two saxophones and an electric
guitar bring what everyone is waiting for: the groove!

Looking forward to a future collaboration,
The Assahira team.
