about

About The Brand New Life :
Since stepping onto the world beat music scene in 2009, The Brand New Life has been uplifting audiences with a sound that is as enlivening as the name implies. The eight-piece band has become recognized as one of the East Coast's top Afrobeat groups, sharing the stage with world-renowned all-stars such as Nigerian Afrobeat royalty Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 and American Afrobeat collective Antibalas. With an adventurous original repertoire, The Brand New Life avoids being classified as purely Afrobeat by drawing on a number of musical influences from indie pop/rock to modern jazz. The result is a rousing, danceable melting pot of sound, powered by fierce polyrhythm and forceful horns that can be heard on their 2013 release 'The Brand New Life EP,' and their 2014 release 'Coconut Husband'.

The Brand New Life about Paris DJs :
We are very excited to be apart of this Paris DJs compilation. We appreciate Paris DJs for bringing afro-funk groups together like this on an international level. It is a very exciting and special thing! We believe that our track 'Bara Mbaye' is perfect for this compilation because it features a unique collaboration between an American band and a West African griot from Senegal (Mamadou Mbenge).
