Baco and Urban Plant @ Alliance Française
Baco & Urban Plant, a French group from Mayotte Island currently performing in Kenya, will have a live show at the Alliance Française today. Baco is a composer and author who has been a leading activist in Mahoran culture. His move from the archipelago of Mayotte to the concrete jungle of Paris left an indelible mark on his music, which is imbued with essences of blues, jazz, reggae, rock and rap, to the popular music of the Indian Ocean and the heritage of East Africa. Baco and Urban Plant seeks to bring to life the legacy left by black music to the heritage of today’s music through their unique “R’n’G” genre- a style where the “R” represents reggae, rock, rap, and the “G” being the ‘(n)Goma’, drum in Bantu language.
Date: Friday, July 21
Venue: Alliance Française
