Les Nèg’ Marrons continue their return to the stage with the Diaspora Tour 2027. A spring tour of around ten dates, carried by the single taken from their new album, released in July 2026, which once again celebrates their musical heritage and their connection with the diaspora.

For more than twenty-five years, people have been hearing the sound of their voices. Childhood friends Jacky and Ben-J carved out their place in the music scene, inspired by their elders Ministère A.M.E.R (Stomy and Passi), Deenastyle on Radio Nova, and Rapline on M6. Their lyrics are politically committed, in the manner of the American hip-hop scene and the group Public Enemy, and the apartheid policy in South Africa has not left them indifferent, not to mention that.

Authors of many classics and committed artists, Nèg'Marrons embody festive and inspiring music. Breaking through with the single “La Monnaie”, the theme of the 1995 film Raï, they then landed a deal with the major label Sony Music.

As prominent artists representing the reggae wing of the Secteur Ä collective, they enjoyed unprecedented success with their debut album “Rue case nègre”, certified gold upon its release in 1997. Afterwards, the two partners multiplied their activities as producers, founding the label “Première Classe” (PC1, PC2, Pit Baccardi, Tandem, Jalane...), hosting the radio show “Couvre feu” on Skyrock, presented by Jacky Brown, and joining the Bisso na Bisso collective, which has multiple gold records and of which Ben-J is a member.

From reggae to hip-hop, and including some of the most famous collaborations (Wyclef Jean, Cesaria Evora, Tonton David, Amadou et Mariam, Alpha Blondy...), the best of their repertoire boasts numerous gold and platinum certifications.
