M'Beewan, a multi-instrumentalist and composer-songwriter for more than 10 years, was the lead singer iRieTEAM a French Nu-Roots Reggae band created in 2003, and made 2 albums and a Live DVD (Besoin d'Aide! 2005 / Live à l'Herbe en zik 2006 / Enfants de la Patrie 2008 / iRieTEAM Live à Montbéliard 2007).
Mbeewan is willing to unite people around a message which breaks the borders of reggae and of generations, thanks to its multiple influences.
Reggae, rock, dub, rap and soul are the main influences which guide Mbeewan’s music.
The rhythms go from ska to ragga-dancehall, but always keep a dominant reggae-roots touch, which make it a very distinctive and hardly definable reggae.
Mbeewan’s songs are definitely militants and deal with topics such as ecology, religion, wars, racism and crisis linked to identity, as well as conflicts destroying Africa and the Middle-East.
Mbeewan shared stages with a lot of famous French and International bands such as:
Dub Inc., Aswad, Israel Vibration, Alpha Blondy, Gladiators, Rod Taylor, Dobacaracol, K2R Riddim, Raspigaous, Bawajafar n Free, Bob Wasa, Stanley Beckford, Ska-P, Sergent Garcia, Abdou Day, Kaly Live Dub, Ministère des Affaires Populaires, Kana, Les Wampas, Les Caméléons, Riké, Lord Bitum, Killa Karltoon, La JAM Session, Marcel et Son Orchestre...
