Le collectif Bénin International Musical (BIM) réunit cinq artistes qui donnent voix aux histoires du continent africain dans une fusion percutante de musique et de récit. Ancré dans la culture béninoise et la tradition vodun, le groupe déconstruit les idées reçues avec une philosophie tournée vers la vie, la terre et la communauté. Entre rock, rap et rythmes traditionnels, BIM fait de chaque concert un rituel contemporain incandescent. 

Après un premier album défendu sur plus de 150 scènes à travers le monde, le groupe revient en 2026 avec un nouvel opus audacieux, Positive Vodoun. 

Hymnes rock électrisants, rap acéré, polyphonies vocales foisonnantes et rythmes traditionnels hypnotiques, l’album livre un portrait vibrant et résolument actuel de la musique béninoise.
