BIOGRAPHY
22 years in the business. Tens of thousands of kilometers on their Tour Bus, which has taken them to the four corners of the globe. Starting out as a teenage dream in the early 2000s, the collective went on to play a series of dates under their hats, as well as the most underground concert cafés. The chemistry quickly took hold, and DANAKIL found themselves playing some of France's biggest venues, as well as Zeniths and major European festivals, bringing their rootsy, committed music to as many people as possible.
Often reduced to the status of a “reggae band”, DANAKIL have managed to free themselves from codes and deliver songs which, in some cases, have become “classics”, crossing generations and accumulating millions of streams on today's platforms. But they've never lost their simplicity, creating a natural bond with their fans and audiences at every concert, just as they did in their early days. This very special atmosphere has largely contributed to the group's success, and has enabled it to impose its singular imprint, stamped with the seal of independence and militancy. Indeed, DANAKIL has always sought to preserve its freedom, first by self-producing its albums, then by setting up its own label. BACO RECORDS came into being in 2011, and under the name BACO MUSIC now welcomes and supports many other musical talents in all aspects of their careers: recording, album production, touring, distribution, digital, promotion... September 2024 marks a new stage for Danakil, with the release of the album “Demain peut-être”, several tracks of which have already proved particularly effective both on stream and live! On the musical front, the band continues to evolve, pushing even further their production work in their own studio (the BACO STUDIO in Bordeaux) to create their best rhythms and melodies, constantly experimenting in search of a powerful, analog sound. The result is a natural groove that perfectly supports the trenchant lyrics of Balik, the historic singer of the DANAKIL collective. The band is on tour until 2025, with over forty dates already announced, including a date at the Zénith de Paris - La Villette that promises to be unique and unforgettable!
