In an effort to summarize the style of this dynamic band, one could note that the sound it interprets is metal with African rhythms; music that comes & goes, jazz & Beninese tradition marked by Vudu rhythms, which is apparent in their musical composition.

With a percussionist base and African vocals, the band is characterised by the presence of the trumpet, trombone, cornet, the tuba and saxophone. The carnival-like sound they produce on stage has consolidated their presence in venues in the USA, Europe & Asia. The African octet's latest album titled Assiko, was released in 2008.

With three highly awarded albums to their credit, which took them on tour for twelve years, this band now appears in the Canaries with the intention of delighting the audience with its choral sound deeply rooted in Western Africa.
