The group’s originality lies in its blend of traditional instruments and others dreamt up by the fertile imagination of Eddy Mboyo. All instruments are made from recycled materials – drums, percussion instruments, balafons and so on.
Being both keen on free expression and eager to restore the standing of traditional instruments in general, Eddy works tirelessly on behalf of musical cross-fertilisation, building a solid bridge between tradition and modernity by creating new hybrid sounds through the use of traditional instruments in a modern orchestral setting.
