Get ready! On Sunday the 27th of October, we’re bringing you a live band like you’ve never seen before, Afrodream!
Afrodream is an Afropop band formed in Turin in 2018 when Abou Samb from Senegal (vocals, percussion), Eddy Gaulein Stef from Martinique (bass), Ariel Verosto from Argentina (piano, flute), Luca Vergano (guitar), Sam Baye (drums) and Simone Arlorio (saxophone) came together.
The sound atmosphere is a fusion of African rhythms and dreamy, enveloping melodies of a more “Western” nature, over which Samb’s lyrics float, full of hope and sometimes tinged with a subtle melancholy. The sound is the result of the meeting of musicians with cultural and musical backgrounds that are far apart, but have found a rhythmic and melodic balance between them. All of this results in energetic live performances that leave you almost in a state of cathartic ecstasy.
The band has released 2 EPs so far: “Afrodream” (2018), “Jam Sa Sounè” (2019) and the debut album “La Teranga” (2020).
Now after the release of their new single “Ethnique”, the band have embarked on another tour and will be stopping off for one night in London to play here at the Fox and Firkin on the 27th of October. We can’t wait to bring this unique blend of musical styles to the legendary Fox stage.
