Lehmanns Brothers

Far from the shady bankers of New-York, it was in Angoulême in 2012, in a small garage on Avenue Lehmann, that five high-school music students found themselves and met-up, groove brothers, sharing the same passion for Afro-American rhythms.

Influenced by funkers such as <a href="spotify:artist:5a2EaR3hamoenG9rDuVn8j" data-name="Prince">Prince</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:55BOGnEb0pUuAgbxAwwbKV" data-name="Ghost-Note">Ghost-Note</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:336vr2M3Va0FjyvB55lJEd" data-name="D&#39;Angelo">D&#39;Angelo</a>, the Frenchies intend to revisit the famous jazz-funk of the seventies, while instilling it with echoes of hip-hop, house and nu-soul.

But there are no covers here, as these young musicians, with four EPs to their credit, present only compositions by the band&#39;s members: guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:4lhjjDpsGu9roJmU0TNlGh" data-name="Alvin Amaïzo">Alvin Amaïzo</a>, drummer Dorris Biayenda, keyboardist and keen vocalist Julien Anglade, in an incandescent rhythmic alchemy that has nothing to envy their prestigious rolemodels.

With more than fifty concerts a year under their belts, criss-crossing Europe without ever leaving their audiences unmoved, the band present in 2021 the EP <a href="spotify:album:5S39lDIzIHjBEohKn7d21O" data-name="The Youngling, Vol. 1">The Youngling, Vol. 1</a>, whose excellent single <a href="spotify:track:1ft2Fb7TaeVee9kobX0rHF" data-name="Inked - Alhambra Studios Live Session">Inked - Alhambra Studios Live Session</a> travels across the Atlantic. An audience without borders began to develop. After that the EP <a href="spotify:album:2ywezduwgZaehWhRlSrX9h" data-name="The Youngling, Vol. 2 (Alhambra Studios Live Session)">The Youngling, Vol. 2 (Alhambra Studios Live Session)</a> was released in 2022. A nod to <a href="spotify:artist:7ENzCHnmJUr20nUjoZ0zZ1" data-name="Snarky Puppy">Snarky Puppy</a>, this production features a live studio session that leaves a lasting impression.

In 2023, while the concerts continue in full swing, the three founders have in their heart the desire to regroup around compositions of a different hue, signaling a new era in the band&#39;s dynamic.
