D-FE - Muziki (Toute la musique que j'aime)

Mawsi Khai-vocals, n'goni / Suti Gabeh-guitar
Baf-guitar / Pôl-bass / Brice-drums
Bës-percussions / Dj Ganesh-turntables, samples




D-FE have their own music genre : the zwenks (pronounced zuenx) metal, which can be described as metal mixed with ancestral African vibes (tribal metal), this music is extreme, roots and urban ; it consists of African rhythms and percussions associated with blast beats and very heavy guitar riffs, with samples and scratches of the best effect. And on this chaotic sound, we have different styles of singing (hip hop/ragga, guttural, incantation vocals) with lyrics in Ka (Caribbean), Duala (Cameroon) and French, serving as a form of original musical expression, aggressive and politically incorrect. Zwenks is a Caribbean word of the eighties which means crazy, bizarre, strange (not on this earth), but brutally and dirtily funky. If you are open minded and u know how to move your ass and break your neck, the zwenks is definitively for you. Warning : under the tropics and specially in the Caribbean, there is some devastating cyclones, one of them is recurrent and is called D-FE, and maybe it will go elsewhere to see if it zwenks one day...

D-FE is nervous and violent (and sometimes dark), because the band wants to sensitize the public about the different problems of the planet, and specially those of the African continent and its Diaspora, which some of its seven members come from. Associated to the Parisian urban life style, where the zwenks was born, Africa is very present in the visual concept of the group, and it can be disconcerting for certain to seeing Africans dressed in baggys and bubus, with clay make-up on their faces, or also masked like in the pure African tradition as Dogon or Yoruba, headbanging on the most violent metal ; but metal does not come from blues and the make-up of the european black metal bands can not refer to those of African Massaï warriors ?
