DANAKIL

DOSSIER April 2010
by Pierre

Born in 2000 from the passion of 8 young Parisians, it is on the roads that Danakil knew how to build up its own sound identity and to convince an increasing number of faithful publics. Carried by a collective and communicative energy, this group of French reggae music marks itself out by the quality of its texts and its incredible scenic presence.

Balik, author and interpreter, draws his inspiration from the facts of current events that he denounces with poetry and determination.

In 2006, after a hundred concerts, Danakil recorded its fi rst album in self-production, Micro Climat, which already knows a wide success among the amateurs of the kind.

This experience urges them to dash into the realization of a new album, taken out in 2008: Dialogue de Sourds. Marking fi rmly its commitment, this opus puts in opposition the various actors of our society, looking for a breach to open the dialogue between people.

Excellent featurings with big names of reggae like Jah Mason, General Levy or still Mighty Diamonds also confirms the quality of this album that swings between reggae-roots and more modern tones.

Thanks to the experience acquired during more than 500 concerts, the group registers its fi rst live album on the scene of the “Cabaret Sauvage” in Paris which gathered almost 1200 persons on November 26th, 2008, and gave birth to a CD-DVD released last April.
