About this user

GROUP AVALON is composed of two brothers who are of Swedish and Congolese origin.

Coming from a great musical family, music and dance has always been omnipresent in their life.
Influenced on one hand by the Congolese music, and on the other hand, by music broadcast on radios and televisions nowadays, Avalon is like others of the MTV generation ".

Djo, the oldest of the brothers is very quickly passionate in music, in particular hip hop. He starts to write Rap texts at a very young age and forms hip-hop groups everywhere he lives. Moe has a passion for song. He pursues his studies and receives his bachelor's degree in music and song from the Music Conservatory in Stockholm.

In December 2004 the first album makes its appearance, "Excalibur", including the singles "Le Monde Bouge" awarded for (Best Diaspora Europe- Caribbean act at the KORA- All African Music Awards 2003) and "Mama Africa" nominated (Best Diaspora Europe- Caribbean act at the KORA- All African Music Awards 2004).

With a sale of nearly 500 000 specimens the group affirms its presence as one of the most promising group Africa and its Diaspora.

Avalon have preformed alongside famous artists such as, Ludacris, Angie Stone, Miriam Makeba, Genuwine, Montel Jordan, Musiq Soulchild, The Game as well as great figures of African Music such as Salif Keita, V.I.P, Werra son, 2FACE, Thandiswa Mazwai, Koffi Olomide, Fally Ipupa

Thanks to their Song "Big Up", Group Avalon has entered the big league in Scandinavia. The singlebig up" is a success, keeping a permanent place in the "Top 20" Swedish charts during nearly 5 weeks. The Compilation reaches triple platinum.

Fights for peace

Group Avalon is at the head of the foundation having organized the music Festival "Youth for Peace" in democratic Republic of Congo the summer 2004 at the International Fair of Kinshasa. Thanks to the support of the Congolese government and local organisations, more than 30 artists were involved in the festival. The major objective was to give a message of peace and joy of living to the youth. Thousands of young people attended the concerts and the Festival was also broadcast on national TV channels, making it possible for millions of people to follow the show.

A single in August 2005, a version of "Pata pata" is launched, for the honour of the African icon Miriame Makeba. The song is well received by the author and is frequently diffused on European and African radio stations. The Swedish public discovers and appreciates the African musical universe presented by Avalon. All this allowed, in June 2006, to make the Swedish citizens discover the group "Magic System". The latter performed in collaboration with group Avalon.

Afro-Viking 2008

January 2008, Avalon launches their second album entitled "Afro-Viking" in collaboration with several artists such as Muhammad Lamine (Algeria) and Million styles (Sweden).
The first single of the album "Afro Viking" is entitled Rotation.
"Rotation" is a song that the group wrote together with songwriter Tony Sad (Belgium) and it is produced by Silveroom (Sweden). The song has the new Afro-Viking sound, a Fusion between Afro and dance music. Avalon is nominated for the third time at the Kora All African music awards, this time in the category Best African Artist or group.

The second single is entitled Fukama, a featuring with Swedish reagge phenomenon Million stylez. He is the Artist behind the worldwide smashin hit Miss Fatty.
