Eyo'nlé Brass Band - Le Temps - LIVE at Afrikafestival Hertme 2017

Performance 2 July 2017 Eyo'nlé means "let's be happy" in Yoruba. Eyo'nlé Brass Band is an orchestra consisting of brass blowers who percussion their music. Their repertoire reflects the dualism of the people in Benin, close to the roots and at the same time clinging to modern life with all its problems and not only varied with regard to the music style but also the subject matter. As the drums strike the brass blowers, the songs are about today's topics: democracy, AIDS, youth unemployment. In addition, the songs also cover traditional subjects: the voodoo ceremonies, the ritual funerals, the initiation sites. After the performance on stage, the band is already playing the festival ground.
