Afro-Haitian Experimental Orchestra Afro-Haitian Experimental Orchestra

Experimental African and Haitian band featuring the afro beat legend Tony Allen and a cross section of musicians from both Haiti and Africa. The sound represents this with strands of afro beat and Haitian music with roots on both sides of the Atlantic, compelling layers of subtle polyrhythms that bridge centuries and cultures. Relentless grooves become the foundation for soaring, utterly modern melodies like the swirling, electronica-fuelled “Salilento” or the Afro Vocoder ritual sound of “Yanvalou” that’s inspired as much by Krautrock and Sun Ra as Lagos or Port-au-Prince. Flying on inspiration and adrenaline, it’s roots music for a global future.
