Mister T & The Skydivers – Pre-New Year’s Party • PARTY, SOUL RNB
Tony Kabeya (voc) ; Bilou Doneux (dr) ; Jérôme Van den Bril (g) ; François Garny (b)
To celebrate the end of the year in style, Toots turns into a full-on dance floor with Mister T & The Skydivers, an explosive band that revisits the soul and R’n’B of the ’60s and ’70s as if we were right in the heart of Memphis or Detroit.
Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, Sly & The Family Stone… The legendary repertoire of the giants comes back to life before your eyes, driven by a groove that’s as warm as it is irresistible.
At the head of the group stands Tony Kabeya, a true bundle of energy and a formidable showman who ignites every room he steps into. He is joined by three pillars of the Belgian scene:
— Bilou Doneux, drummer for Zap Mama and Philippe Lafontaine, whose sense of groove feels like a powerful engine;
— Jérôme Van den Bril, a guitarist with a bright, precise sound, widely known for his work with Typh Barrow;
— François Garny, an essential bassist who has played with Arno, Maurane, Adamo and many others, master of deep, irresistible lines.
Together, they revive the golden age of soul: a concert that grooves, sweats, celebrates — the perfect pre–New Year’s Eve party at Toots!
