THE BANYANS - Reggae from Tolouse (France)
Having toured in France and mainland Europe for more than 5 years
(hosting over 300 gigs!), the 6 musicians from the south west of France
that form “The Banyans” have steadily been gathering an eager crowd.
Enriched and enthused by their experiences and encounters on tour, the
band will be launching their debut album. The album is clearly
influenced by the godfathers of Jamaican Reggae roots (Glad
iators, Burning Spears, Bob Marley, etc) resonating not only with music
lovers of this genre but equally with amateurs and those of blues, soul
and jazz. A true revelation!
Since their creation in 2008, The
Banyans have successfully held over 300 concerts in the whole of France,
and their lyrics in English have opened the doors to several other
countries in Europe including Belgium, Italy and Spain.
In 2011,
The Banyans toured as opening acts to prestigious bands of the likes of
Groundation, Israel Vibration, Aswad, The Wailers, Antony B, U-Roy,
Clinton Fearon, etc.
During this year a budding collaboration with
the Jamaican artist Ras Daniel Ray flourished into a joint-tour in
France, stepping up the band’s professionalism.
And in October
2011, The Banyans appeared on the compilation album << French
Reggae Revolution>> with Soulbeats Records label (Action Music CD
label) alongside Sinsemilia, Danakil, etc.
2012 marks an important
step in their career with the debuting album and several new
collaborations with established artists in the international reggae
scene.
Lined up with exciting new projects and with even more
concerts scheduled every year, The Banyans are rapidly becoming a top
leading band in the French and European Reggae scene.
