The Bongo Hop

A breath of fresh air will be sweeping through the FEQ this summer with the arrival of The Bongo Hop, the musical project of French trumpet player Étienne Sevet, who after living in Colombia for 8 years returned to his native Lyon with a head full of ideas and the rhythms he soaked up during his transatlantic trip. The musical framework of the collective is built around Colombian and Caribbean sounds that follow Afrobeat and African funk grooves. A delightful mix of genres that is skilfully orchestrated, multilingual and here just in time for the festivities.
