Created by French trumpeter/globetrotter Etienne Sevet, it’s a highly danceable blend of many different sounds and influences, from afrobeat, which he’d introduced to the Colombian dancefloors years earlier as a Cali resident and DJ, to Colombian costa music, west indies, West African, jazz…his music has a clear ambition to build bridges, shake booties and let emotions come out.
This is, in a few words, is “The Bongo Hop”.
His first album, Satingarona pt 1, was acclaimed as a remarkable genre-bending achievement…Pt 2 is due January 2019!
On stage, The Bongo Hop is the equivalent of a tropical storm served with hot brass, infectious afro grooves, electric sounds, and heavenly vocals.
