"Let the wisdom of the past guide us to the incredible vision of the future"
AFROTRONIX
WELCOME TO THE FUTURE TRIBE
BIO
Afrotronix is an icon of Afrofuturism who continues to break barriers. Known for his genre-defying soundscapes that fuse Electronic Music, Afro Tech, electric blues, Amapiano, Dubstep, and Future House, this fearless band conquers Afro House as much as they dive into super triby mind-bending experimental pieces. They’ve performed at over 130 major festivals worldwide, including WOMAD, Afropunk Paris, and JOVA Beach Party, and has collaborated with luminaries like Baaba Maal, Youssou N’dour, Lorenzo Jovanotti, Stonebwoy, Mbongwana Stars, and Brian Kennedy (Rihanna, Chris Brown).
Leading this musical quest and proudly carrying the DOM—a helmet symbolizing a reimagined ancestral wisdom— is Caleb Rimtobaye, a talented Chadian guitarist and producer based in Montreal. Afrotronix’s artistry has earned him 18 global accolades, including Best African DJ at the All Africa Music Awards (2018), Best African Electro Artist (2019), and Best Artist at the Hollywood & African Prestigious Awards (2022). But his real triumph is cultural: Afrotronix is one of Chad’s most internationally recognized musical exports, reshaping how the world hears Africa.
His sound is new yet rooted in the familiar—an electrifying blast from a future born of ancestral greatness. Electric guitar, pulsating live percussion, and cutting-edge digital art, his music is a sonic mosaic of Africa’s legendary artists. Saharan Electro, Afrotronix’s signature vibe, drops a bold, Afro-futuristic pulse into urban fashion, wild dance floors—bursting with energy, style, and unstoppable African algorithms.
Future Tribe is the new upcoming album that imagines an inclusive world rooted in shared memory, healing, and groove. Afrotronix calls it “a dance of intersecting horizons and futures to be created together.”
It’s music that dares to dream—and dance—beyond borders.
