Benin International Musical

Benin International Musical (BIM) is a boundary-pushing collective that blends traditional Beninese rhythms, Vodoun chants, and contemporary Afrobeat, funk, and electronic influences. Formed in Cotonou, Benin, the group brings together musicians from diverse backgrounds to celebrate and modernize the country’s rich musical and spiritual heritage. Their sound is deeply rooted in the rituals of Vodoun, drawing from trance-inducing rhythms and call-and-response vocals, while infusing it with modern grooves that appeal to global and club-oriented audiences.

Their debut project, BIM#1, released in 2018, earned critical praise for its seamless synergy of past and present, receiving attention across Europe and Africa. With powerful live performances and a commitment to cultural exchange, BIM isn't just a band—they're a cultural movement aiming to connect ancestral West African traditions with today’s sounds and stories.
