Formed in 2011, Filiband is a multicultural collective that continues to evolve, both in sound and lineup. For this special concert, seven musicians from Luxembourg, France, and Burkina Faso will take the stage to deliver a powerful and heartfelt performance. Blending Funk, Blues, Afro-reggae, World Music, and Rock, Filiband invites you on a vibrant musical journey. Their new album Vise loin, released in March 2025, tackles themes such as health, global crises, and the human richness of Africa. With instruments like the African kora, guitar, saxophone, keyboard, bass, and drums, the band builds bridges between cultures through rhythm and soul. In May 2025, Filiband was awarded a Marley d’Or in Burkina Faso for their song Farafina.
