Info for Spicy Boom Boom
Balaphonics is a collective of nine musicians specialized in Afro-fusion. Their name comes from the African percussion instrument, the balafon, also known as “bala” or “balani,” a kind of xylophone that has a very important place in Mandingo music. All kinds of balafons exist in different African regions and therefore the choice of this instrument is anything but insignificant, bringing together the whole continent. This brass band from Paris mixes funk, jazz and traditional African music, passing through groove and highlife. Their drums and guitars offer vibrating, frantic rhythms. Since the success of AfroMassivSoundSystem, released in 2016, the musicians have participated in many festivals, from France to Malta, through Cyprus, London and Bamako.
After recording their EP Balamako with the griot Moriba Diabaté, Balaphonics have continued their artistic encounters on the album Spicy Boom Boom. Recorded in the Mastoïd studio in Pantin, this project brings together groove, highlife, makossa, pop and Congolese rumba with harmony. All these musicians were supported by the great Manu Dibango, as well as Tiken Jah Fakoly and Hilaire Penda. It also features Kandy Guira of the Amazones d’Afrique group and Moriba Diabaté.
The single “Incredible Energy Vibes,” which can be experienced exclusively on PAM, pays tribute to the essential power of music, which “heals our lost souls since the dawn of time,” according to Balaphonics. The purpose of the track is perfectly summed up by Franz Von Song, who raps: “Let the music free your mind.”

Balaphonics blend the Nigerian Afrobeat fighter, the Ghana highlife dance, the Cameroonian bikutsi and the West Africa Mandingo, with soul and jazz while flirting with funk.
AFRO MASSIVE SOUNDSYSTEM, released in 2016 was just the beginning of the adventure. Three years later, in June 2019, they released their EP BALAMAKO featuring Moriba Diabaté.
Their new album SPICY BOOM BOOM will be released soon, with talented guests like Kandy Guira, Jupiter & Okwess, Moriba Diabaté (-M- Lamomali) et Franz Von (K.O.G & the Zongo Brigade).
This album contains no booklet.
