Benin International Musical
Benin International Musical picks up Vodou rhythms as well as electronic club sounds from Cotonou, rock, Afrobeat and trip hop. The members of the collective – rapper Nayel Hoxo, singer Amessiamey, percussionist Risinkpaoun – all draw their combined creative inspiration from the kingdom of Dahomey, which existed between the years 1600 and 1894 until the French colonial power annexed the area in what is today Benin. With polyrhythmic grooves and polyphonic vocals, Benin International Musical are committed to bringing this story back to life, opening up new perspectives for today’s Beninese scene and far beyond with their debut album BIM#1, released in 2018.
