Nuits d’Afrique | Fabrice Koffy and His Slam, in Full Band Mode

Interview by Keithy Antoine
Genres and styles : Slam

Additional Information

You may have discovered him during his participation in the Kalmunity Vibe Collective project several years ago. Fabrice Koffy hasn’t stopped slamming since then, with his guitarist Guillaume Soucy, who has been with him since the beginning. But for the 39th edition of the Festival international Nuits d’Afrique, he will be with his full band, with saxophone, clarinet, drums, guitar and double bass. Our collaborator Keithy Antoine spoke to the poet-slammer a few days before his performance at Club Balattou on Monday July 14.
