THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Blanc Manioc is an African music electronic label based in Lyon, created and directed by Dom Peter (High Tone), who also Mali’s Midnight Ravers with the help of Thomas Balmer (Guerrillagrafik), Emmanuel Prost (StreetArt), Sebastien Rieussec (Photograph).
New to the “Afro-electro” sphere for a year and half, the project is rooted in different territories with artists from all over Africa — Bamako, Lagos, Ouaga Johannesburg, Abidjan and more. It represents a growing family, a desire to do differently, this musical utopia strong in each of the creative processes of the artists who make this compilation. Unfortunately stopped (but like everyone else) this year, the DJ sets and parties have been replaced by original score music, with so many things to come soon.”
