With an over 5 year career, this chilean afrobeat orchestra is today recognized as one of the most impressive and fresh-styled projects around the world, emphasizing its on-stage mood and highly energetic show. They have had on-stage guests such as gender legends Tony Allen, Oghene Kologbo, Femi and Seun Kuti, performing shows in major musical festivals and gigs through Chile, Brazil, France, Nigeria and U.S.A. After their successful first homonymous album (independent, 2013) Newen Afrobeat is nowadays promoting their second release named “Newen Plays Fela”, a Fela Kuti tribute EP which includes two of his classic songs performed in a very Newen-like style. Their second LP release is scheduled for the final months of 2017, in which songs like “Uyuni” explore the alchemy between afrobeat and traditional folklore of the Andes.
