The bubbling cauldron of African socio-political unrest, unfortunately a constant for decades, means commitment remains a given, and Sir Jean possesses the ideal pen and voice to champion the progressive, democratic, even revolutionary aspirations of the Black Continent today. NMB AFROBEAT EXPERIENCE delivers a sound that is as original as it is powerful, in the tradition of Nigerian Afrobeat Bands. The length of the tracks (from 6 to 10, or even 12 minutes) helps to instill a Highlife trance by mesmerizing the audience to the rhythm of call-and-response structures and the chanting inherent in the Afrobeat style. With irresistible energy, driven by strong and clear determination, NMB AFROBEAT EXPERIENCE aims to be a burning and vital historical link between Nigeria and Louisiana, a transatlantic Mardi Gras from Lagos to New Orleans that invites Fela devotees to the Yoruba feast, and transports the dancefloor (and the debate) to the heart of the Shrine.
