The Afrorockerz is a project around Julien Raulet, a French guitarist who already earned his spurs as a founding member of the afrobeat-formation Fanga. A first incarnation of the band including Brussels singer with Ivorian roots, Ruth Tafebe and drummer Tony Allen, already recorded the 'Holy Warriors' album in 2007, but for this self-titled release The Afrorockerz started from scratch. The vocal portion of 'The Afrorockerz' is the work of Chicago-born but Paris-based painter, poet and singer Allen Conway aka Allonymous and singer Emma Lamadji, who, like Julien Raulet, is, a former member of Fanga. Add to this the Sylvain Daniel's bass, the drum talent of Maxime Zampieri and especially the hypnotic synthesizer-melodies of David Monet (whose task it was to make us forget the lack of a horn section, something he actually succeeds in) and you get The Afrorockerz. The resulting album has a sound that is halfway between afrobeat, electro, funk and rock. Afrobeat 2.0!
