Machine translation from French, under review. The French text is authoritative.
AfrotroniX is the project of Caleb Rimtobaye, a Chad-born musician based in Canada. He started out in H’Sao, a band made up of family members, then turned to electronic music for a sound that is “less communal and more universal”.
He identifies with Afrofuturism, which he defines as “a future seen by Africans”, and says his main mission is to make Chadian music known around the world. He was named best African DJ in 2018.
On stage he wears a futuristic helmet; he calls his style “Saharan electro”, blending traditional Chadian rhythms and songs with deep house, amapiano, Afro house and ambient.
