NEWEN AFROBEAT - Newen Afrobeat is a Chilean band, pioneers in the Afrobeat genre in Chile and one of the current references of this musical style born in the late 60s in Nigeria by Fela Kuti and Tony Allen. With 15 years of experience, they have been opening their way within the world music, jazz and global Afro latin music scenes with remarkable appearances in important events such as Womad, Womex, Felabration Nigeria, Montreal Jazz Festival and presentations in more than 20 countries in Latin America, North America, Africa and Europe. With 5 studio albums where both their LPs of original music stand out as well as the emblematic EP titled “Newen Plays Fela”, where the Chilean band has made outstanding remakes of some Fela Kuti classics such as the popular “Opposite People” (14 million views make it the most viewed afrobeat video in the world on YouTube), Newen has even earned the respect of afrobeat pioneers themselves, coining collaborations and befriending legends of the genre such as Tony Allen, Femi Kuti, Cheick Tidiane Seck, Seun Kuti , Oghene Kologbo and Dele Sosimi to name a few examples, who have validated and blessed Newen Afrobeat's proposal for its freshness and unique image. Today, Newen Afrobeat proposes a unique sound, with a proposal for cultural integration between Latin America and Africa and an energetic and colorful staging without ever leaving aside the social message that characterizes each of its lyrics. A proposal that leaves no one indifferent and that this year arrives in Europe to present “Grietas”, his fifth studio album with release concerts confirmed in Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Madrid and London.
