DJ Balafon - France

DJ Balafon - Vinyl from the golden age of African music

Vivien Baudouin, better known as DJ Balafon, has been lovingly and knowledgeably spinning vinyl records full of African music from the 1970s and 1980s for years. His collection is made up of rare gems, with a special place for the great orchestras from West Africa.

Inspired by the atmosphere of the maquis - the musical eatery bars like you find in many African cities - DJ Balafon brings music that knows how to touch fans and dancers alike. Expect rhythms that linger; all straight from the record collection of an inspired aficionado.

A great time to get away from the main stage for a while, in the shade of Hertme's trees.
