The Alle’sTones band was formed in 2003, with aims to enhance the traditional musical culture of Benin, like their elder brothers Gangbé Brass Band.
Alle’sTones is composed of 7 young musicians from Benin. As children, they all attended various choirs and were members of various folk groups (Toba Tchinkoumé, Kaka, Zinli …) or other bands, before meeting to let the sound of their Brass Band fly.
Alle’sTones has created a musical style of its own, at the crossroads of Beninese rhythms and Jazz music, mixing cultures and sounds. Thus, Benin percussions (tam-tam, gong, gourd …) meet the modern wind instruments (trumpet, trombone, flugelhorn, tuba …).
Awards: 1st prize in “modern music inspired by tradition” (09/2007 & 09/2010 [FESNAC]).
