Two daughters of founder and singer-songwriter André Balaguemon are among them. A musician and social worker, he wants to make a statement with this
… women's group: to protest through music the disadvantage of women in education, work and social status. It is the only women's group in Benin in which women play instruments. With great energy and enthusiasm, the group plays uptempo highlife, afrobeat, Congolese rumba and Beninese styles. With their young light voices, they sing about circumcision, forced marriage and children's rights. They call on women to stand up for themselves. In addition to French and local languages, they now sing in English for the first time. The Star Feminine Band embodies the power of women! (SvdP)more
