Espoirs de Coronthie - 2013.Oct.19 Dortmund

Wish You All the Very Very Best for this New Year, and let's start off 'Manguetique'good by listening to some music from Conakry, Guinee.

Funkhaus Europa presents Guineas Dream Team - Les Espoirs de Coronthie

Solidarity, energy, joy and virtuosity are the hallmarks of one of Africa's most extraordinary bands. Les Espoirs de Coronthie are twelve artists from the slums of the Guinean capital of Conakry, which have made their credo the band name "Coronthie's Hope". With balafon, guitars, banjo, percussions and three lead singers, they have established their own very vital urban sound, which sounds more exciting than ever on their fourth album "Fougou Fougou".
