Zangbeto live in Saint-Just-la-Pendue

Experience Zangbeto live on November 14th

Zangbeto will perform at La Part des Autres in Saint-Just-la-Pendue, France on November 14, 2026. Zangbeto’s music blends traditional Vodun rhythms and instrumentation from Benin with contemporary electronic music production. The group centers around the hypnotic, polyrhythmic percussion of the *zangbeto* – night watchmen traditionally embodying spirits through elaborate costumes – and incorporates field recordings alongside synthesized sounds. Their performances are known for a trance-like quality and a focus on ritualistic atmosphere.
