IREKE

Ireke? Sugar cane in Yoruba. Like her, the duo loves tropical climates and intoxicating rhythms, quick to liberate the bodies gathered on a dance floor. Afrobeat urgency, funk flexibility, dub alchemy, highlife jubilation: with Tropikadelic, Ireke summons the heritage of the masters and the audacity of machines to bring new sonic territories to life. At the crossroads. For the love of groove.

"Ireke, which means "sugar cane" in Yoruba, likes to blur the lines. The duo cultivates the art of syncretism and navigates between afrobeat, funk, highlife and electro, drawing inspiration as much from the Beninese of the Poly-Rythmo Orchestra as from the Ivorian Ernesto Djédjé." The world

"At the crossroads of genres, Ireke does not hesitate to reveal their influences, and summons the musical heritage left by the greatest. Dub, highlife, afrobeat or even 70's funk, welcome to Tropikadelic" Radio Nova
