The Faranas: Who Are You?
Afrobeat / jazz / funk presented by the first Swiss afrobeat orchestra.
Raw grooves of the rhythm section are the Faranas’ heart beat. The drumbeat and the earthy virtuous bass combined with percussion, guitar and vibraphone form the foundation for the powerful horns, the soulful vocals in English and the Griot chants in Wolof.
Musicians from Bern and Senegal. See link music player (down right).
