The Bongo Hop

The Bongo Hop is a vibrant musical project led by trumpeter and journalist Etienne Sevet. Seamlessly blending an array of genres, from Afro-Caribbean rhythms to contemporary funk and jazz, The Bongo Hop has carved out a unique space in the world music scene. Sevet's journey has been a global one, with his inspiration drawn from his time spent in Cali, Colombia, where he was immersed in the local music landscape, eventually leading to the creation of The Bongo Hop in 2016.

Their debut album, "Satingarona, Vol. 1," released in 2016, introduced their sultry mix of Afrobeat, Latin American music, and Caribbean grooves to an eager audience. Following the success of their first album, they continued to build upon their distinctive sound with "Satingarona, Pt. 2," and a string of engaging singles including "La Ñapa," "The Red Hill," "La Carga," and "San Gabriel." The collective brings together musicians from diverse backgrounds, resulting in a genre-spanning fiesta of sounds that has captivated listeners worldwide. The Bongo Hop's innovative approach to music, combined with their energetic live performances, have cemented their reputation as a fresh and exciting act to follow in the global music scene.
