Yelé

YELÉ, which stands for “light” in bambara (a langage from West Africa), is an unique, distinct and sincere trio, delivering a tenacious groove. N'Goni, didjeridoo, guitar and bass are uncompromising, seamlessly weaving between different genres and propose a “mixed-blood” music in the service of a rich voice. The singing is authentic, powerful, poetic and contains multiple tradition heritages to sublimate the richness of world music. YELÉ was born in May 2016 from the derival musical drifts with the meeting of 3 multi-instrumentalist musicians.
The band’s messages and values are inspired by legacy of“griot” tradition, and their compositions are universal and joyfully trample the frontiers of genres. From the Australian bush to Mississippi including Mandingo empire, YELÉ is a spicy melting pop ensemble which transcends the adventurous world music.
On stage the trio stands out and surprises with their instrumentation originality and their dynamic performances. The fusion of styles, the musical quality and their energy is immediately communicative, both for attentive, emotional listening, and a call for an irrepressible and irresistible dancing.
YELÉ is an authentic and singular band to discover !
