Afrotronics is a fusion between West

African music and electronica, exploring

the boundaries between cultures and
styles, tradition and modernity, electronics
and acoustics. This multi-musical trio uses
live electronics, synths and samplers along
side acoustic and traditional instruments to
place the West African expression in an
urban sound environment. On stage,
Afrotronics presents a powerful live act
that fits in both large festival venues as
well as small bustling nightclubs.
Afrotronics was founded in 2009 by Lisa Ladberg and
Fanta Yayo. It was originally a constellation of six
musicians but after a couple of years Lisa and Fanta
decided to rearrange the group to half the personnel but
double the musical output. From 2011 Robin Cochrane
and Jonah Gold joined the group and until this day, these
are the people that form Afrotronics. The remaking of
Afrotronics had not only the effect that it became easier
to tour, it also had a huge positive impact on the musical
concept. Afrotronics is now a perfect balance between
West African music and electronica. Its a musical
experience that leaves no one indifferent.
