Star Feminine Band – Jusq’au Bout du Monde

Star Feminine Band - Jusq'au Bout du Monde

Star Feminine Band is a group of young women – when they formed, their average age was 16 – from the north of Benin. They have been picked up by some of the bigger European festivals (they played both Glastonbury and Roskilde) and now by me too. Their music mixes various African styles, including highlife, leans heavily on vocals and drums (they have three drummers!) and is really addictive. Their lyrics include references to feminism and women’s rights, though this song is more about themselves and their plans to go to the end of the world. Let them go there!

There’s some kind of About page at the bottom of the first post. There is an Instagram account and also a Bluesky account and a playlist on Tidal. I am Martijn and this is my personal-professional website.
