CARINE AU MICRO

“A great admirer of Angélique Kidjo, Miriam Makeba and Faada Freddy, Carine au Micro chooses to include Mina lyrics, a dialect spoken in Benin and does it with enchanting voice that will shake us to the core” (Métro, 2018). She developed an appreciation for traditional rhythms a little late in life during a preliminary trip to her country of origin. These rhythms share an intimate connection with the freedom of jazz, the spirit of soul, the power of gospel, the authenticity of hip-hop and the vibe of R&B, the sounds that illuminated her youth.
