Danakil

Presented by Baco Music. Danakil has never left the top of the French reggae scene for over 20 years. After two sold-out Olympias in 2021, their next Paris appearance could only happen at the Zénith! You already know it — nothing beats seeing them live to discover that!

The atmosphere at their concerts is always filled with complicity with their audience, and testifies to the deep connection between members of the « Danakil family  » that has endured all these years.

The carefully crafted quality of their shows has also built their reputation and promises to be unforgettable at such a momentous celebration as a Zénith!

Danakil has produced 6 albums and recorded numerous dub versions, several live albums, and collaborated on stage or in studio with many renowned artists, travelled to Jamaica, and even achieved a gold record and platinum single for the classic « Marley  »!

It is ultimately their singular imprint, marked by independence and activism, that they have imposed on the French musical landscape, beyond the reggae world.

September 2024 marks a new chapter for Danakil, with the release of the album « Demain peut-être  », where several tracks have already proven particularly effective in both streams and concerts!

The group continues its evolution, pushing production work even further within its own studio (the Baco Studio in Bordeaux) to create its best rhythms and melodies, constantly experimenting in search of powerful, analogue sound.

The result is a natural groove allowing the cutting lyrics of Balik, the collective's historic singer, to resonate throughout. Balik: Vocals, Guido: Guitar, Dimitri: Keys, Léonard: Drums, Thomas: Bass
