about

About Franck Biyong :
Franck Biyong is a Cameroonian Guitarist, composer and singer, creator of the Afrolectric sound fusing Afrobeat, Electro-Funk, Jazz and rock sounds. Attracted to music at a very early age, he spent most of his childhood in West Africa (Gabon, Nigeria, Ivory Coast) where he learned music. He left Africa for Europe where he started his musical career. Franck released 9 albums and operates outside the lines which map the trajectories of African musicians in and out of the continent. Doing so, he gained a reputation over the last ten years as one of the very few authentic innovators of modern African music, blessed with a solid and sophisticated production, a celebration of diverse influences driven by a heavyweight spatial sound.

Franck Biyong about Paris DJs :
Hum…I mean…Hum…potentially the best French based label in activity these last ten years or so? What do you think?
