Balaphonik Sound System au Central bar

With Balaphonik Sound System, he embarks on his most personal project yet. Everything is produced live in the purest tradition of the troubadour musician...

Alex travels the asphalt and paths from street to stage with his sound system cart. Traditional instruments such as the balafon, didgeridoo, hurdy-gurdy and other Jew's harps mingle with machines, bass synth and beat box, all linked by a vocal-dialect and orchestrated by the loop station. It's a lively mixtape, combined with a dose of improvisation and a universal language.

Alexandre has created his own mode of expression, based on emotional onomatopoeia. He explores the possibilities of the voice as an instrument and as a vehicle for inner landscapes.

His universe is imbued with influences from dub, reggae, electro and hiphop, with sounds that are at once contemporary, traditional and often ethnic. His unique style remixes the soundscapes of the world's fast-changing music scene.

Dynamic and insatiably creative, Balaphonik Sound System gets bodies dancing, resources flowing and spirits refreshed...
