Pambelé Analog Africa Imefertiti

Pambelé Analog Africa Imefertiti, a project born from the meeting of Colombian music and Egyptian heritage, performs at Cabaret Sauvage. A unique evening to explore rare and mesmerising sounds, orchestrated by the Analog Africa label.

Pambelé Analog Africa Imefertiti is the fruit of a singular collaboration, initiated by the Analog Africa label, renowned for its ability to unearth and reissue forgotten gems from African and South American scenes. This project highlights the richness of Afro-Colombian rhythms, particularly those from the San Basilio de Palenque tradition, the first free village in the Americas founded by African slaves. Pambelé's music draws inspiration from this history, blending powerful percussion and intoxicating melodies with unexpected influences, sometimes evoking the mysteries of ancient Egypt, as suggested by the name "Imefertiti".

The heart of Pambelé lies in the alliance of Colombian musicians and Analog Africa's artistic vision. The label, founded by Samy Ben Redjeb, became known for rehabilitating artists and musical genres that might have been forgotten. Their meticulous research and remastering work has allowed the international public to discover hidden treasures, from the psychedelic grooves of Benin to the deepest Colombian cumbias. Pambelé fits into this approach, offering a contemporary and respectful reinterpretation of these traditions, while injecting new energy and a cross-cultural dimension.

On stage, Pambelé Analog Africa Imefertiti promises an immersive experience. The group, often accompanied by the Analog Africa Sound System, is recognised for the authenticity and vitality of its performances. Expect contagious rhythms, carried by vibrant percussion and rousing brass, irresistibly inviting dance. It's an invitation to a sonic journey, where geographical and temporal boundaries fade to give way to a celebration of music as a universal language. This Paris performance, at Cabaret Sauvage, is a precious opportunity to discover a project that defies classification and enriches today's musical landscape through its originality and depth.

Cabaret Sauvage, with its warm atmosphere and setting conducive to musical exploration, is the ideal backdrop for Pambelé Analog Africa Imefertiti. Its stage has hosted many artists with world sounds, and this concert fits perfectly within this tradition of openness and discovery.
