"Bibi Tanga, a native of Bangui, has been deploying his fiery afro-funk in Paris-where he now lives-for over 20 years. While he sings of peace and celebrates the rhythms of Africa and Central Africa, Bibi Tanga draws his groove from across the Atlantic, from the soul of Curtis Mayfield, Sly Stone, and Ella Jenkins. After taking off thanks to the beats and loops of Professeur Inlassable, Bibi Tanga returns to the purely instrumental for this concert recorded during the 7th edition of the Au Fil des Voix festival. The singer-bassist introduces *Now* (2014), a fifth album steeped in British rock and the energy of The Specials, the Police, and The Beat to revisit Congolese ndombolos, reggaes, and other montengenes. And Bibi Tanga electrifies the standing, dancing audience of the Alhambra, right up until the last notes of his famous ""Be Africa."" Now it's your turn! Jeanne Lacaille".
