After seeing many of our artists perform at Cafe Oto over the past decade, we’re truly honored to host two nights in this iconic venue as part of our 10 Year Anniversary Tour. – Bongo Joe
Cyril Cyril repeats itself as a reflection would in infinite mirrors. A vagabond rumour, borrowed from age old whispers, beyond Mounts Atlas and Ararat, to whomever is willing to hear the echo of thousands of places where melodies hummed by angels and drums are beaten continuously since the birth of mankind. With their ufo-banjo, strange drums, multiples voices and languages as their sole companions, Cyril Yeterian & Cyril Bondi cut a groove from the soul and transcends, for a few tracks a time, the good manners of damned souls. The tandem, disguised as an ghost-like fanfare, rises like a phoenix on the dance floor…
Born in 1968 in Tongobory, in southern Madagascar, Damily is one of the pioneers and most important ambassadors of tsapiky — the effervescent music that emerged in Toliara in the 1980s, at the crossroads of rock, traditional rituals, and collective trance. More than a style, tsapiky is a context: that of the mandriampototsy, village ceremonies lasting days and nights, blending healing, possession, and ancestral celebration. Musicians play without interruption, carried by the energy of the community. It is in this crucible that Damily forged his art: a handmade guitar, makeshift amplifiers, a saturated, tense, urgent sound — music born of dust, heat, and necessity. It is in this spirit that Fanjiry was born. After the ecstatic Fihisa sessions — recorded in the Malagasy bush under a cyclone — Damily returns to a more intimate approach: a one-to-one dialogue with his guitar. He composes, explores, rearranges, and seeks to “fill the sonic space” differently.

With contributions on Multi Culti, Invisible Inc, Calypso, XXX, Kalahari Oyster Cult, LYO, Codek Records and of course Bongo Joe, Mytron has carved out a name for himself in a carefully-curated left-field quadrant of the indie-dance galaxy.
A finely-fused psychedelic journey through groove, pausing for stopovers in rainforest rhythm, intergalactic electronica and otherworldly proto-house.
His hardware live set is a chuggy, druggy, fuggy ride through tweaking acid, raw funk and tripped-out melodies – setting the scene for an inevitable soaring segue into hazy transcendence.
