Crazy Boys Generation - Illusion - Fresh Bacchanalism Release

The latest release of Bacchanalism, the album "Illusion" builds bridges across borders: borders of countries, cultures, minds and music-styles.
7 young musicians with roots in Haiti, Côte d'Ivoire and Switzerland teamed up, called themselves Crazy Boys Generation, or CBG, and mingled their musical backgrounds to create a unique style.
CBG was founded in 2006 in Geneva by the three friends Antoine Alouidor alias T-one, Joelby Jean alias Jlb Tafia, Yannick Dje alias Y.Dje. Owing to their enthusiasm, creativity and love for music, they were able to get more and more band members on board. Over the years not only the band, but also their fan-base grew, infected by CBG's verve and energy loaded performances at festivals and concerts in Switzerland and abroad.
Their style is truely one-of-a-kind: Haitian mizik rasin and rap fuse to rapsin, with Haitian drums, west African sounds and lyrics sung and rapped in French, Creole and English.
The producer Ted Gabriel Beaubrun alias TedyBoy, deriving from a musical family, stirred versatile cultural influences with great creativity and composed an array of fresh and innovative pieces for CBG's album "Illusion", released in 2009.
This energetic mixture of positive vibes, well-produced beats and intelligent lyrics will definitely make you listen to the voice of the Crazy Boys Generation!

It's not just an "illusion", it's straightforward reality!
Find the links to the download stores where you can purchase the album "Illusion" here, please.

Go and check out the Boys live at Festival Tambour Battant (Genève, Switzerland), November  28th, 2009.

Boukman Eksperyans - La Revolte Des Zombies

Boukman Eksperyans is one of the most important and most popular bands from Haiti, touring the world for the last two decades, once even have been nominated for a Grammy. Being a blend of Rasin, Reggae and Voodoo Rock, the band's sound is as unique as it is enchanting. The fusion of traditional Haitian influences, rock-style guitar and uplifting lyrics in French, Kreyol and English is a hallmark of the band that was named after Dutty Boukman a hero of the slave uprising that resulted in the Haitian revolution.


The latest album "La Révolte des Zombies" is a generous one: packing 23 tracks in 90 minutes.
The novelty about this album is already audible in the eponymous first track "Zombie": some deliberate Hip Hop influences, like decent raps and crisp digitally produced beats. This is owed to the fact that the son of the band's founders Ted Beaubrun who co-produced many of the tunes on this album is an up-and-coming young musician, colaborating a lot with rappers of the international Haitian diaspora. He breathes in some fresh air without disrupting the authentic Boukman Eksperyans sound. There are still the rousing electric guitars, the intoxicating voice of Lolo Beaubrun and the Haitian drums, that evoke the typical feverish and tingly atmosphere of all Boukman tunes.
This makes this album even more diversified and the messages brought to us by singers and rappers from different generations are striking and powerful.
A very special experience - a Boukman Eksperyans.

Bacchanalism is very proud to bring "La Révolte des Zombies" to you via all major downloadshops. Links to the stores can be found here.
