Benin International Musical

BIM pays tribute to the music of the forebears of Dahomey. It reflects as much the traditional ceremonies as the trendy clubs of Cotonou, through to the Evangelical churches and the convents where voodoo deities are invoked. Associating voodoo rhythms and traditional songs, electric melodies in the very spicy Beninese style with hip hop and rock, this collective of Beninese artists has all it takes to make us travel.

BIM is a project of Radio France in partnership with the EBU, Rolling Stone Magazine and TV5Monde.

Le BIM rend hommage a  la musique des ancêtres du Dahomey. Il reflète autant les cérémonies traditionnelles que les clubs branchés de Cotonou, en passant par les églises évangéliques et les couvents ou  l’on implore les divinités vaudous.

Associant les rythmes vaudous et les chants traditionnels, des mélodies électriques à lasauce béninoise bien pimentées avec des groove hip hop et rock, ce collectif d’artistes béninois a de quoi faire voyager.

Le BIM est un projet de Radio France en collaboration avec l’UER, Rolling Stone Magazine et TV5Monde.
