Les Fréres Smith
Les Frères Smith are more than a band—they are a close-knit community. Their live shows are legendary, transforming concert venues around the world into spaces of intense energy and collective exhilaration. The group has collaborated with artists such as Tony Allen and Seun Kuti, underscoring their role as ambassadors of a new, urban African sound that they call “Afrikanbeat.” With a discography spanning more than a decade and an unrelenting touring schedule, Les Frères Smith represent modern Afrobeat at its finest. Funk and highlife, jazz and soul, tropical flavors and blazing polyrhythms: a Les Frères Smith concert is not simply a performance, but an invitation to experience, move, and dance.
Artist
Les Fréres Smith (FRA)
The Paris-based collective Les Frères Smith has been one of the defining voices of the European Afro-groove scene for almost two decades. Their unique sound blends Afrobeat in the spirit of Fela Kuti with the melancholic elegance of Ethio-jazz, the raw energy of funk, and modern influences from hip-hop and electronic music. Without a fixed musical leader, their compositions emerge from collective sessions, giving the music a distinctive dynamism and organic density. Already a mainstay of Paris’s live music scene, the crew has been touring France and Europe for more than a decade.
