About
Mark kelly & the peaceful warriors
After releasing several solo albums, Mark Kelly missed being part of a group, the way other people push you and your music to be better.
He now returns accompanied by a full band, The Peaceful Warriors that explores genres ranging from folk to Afro-pop and country music.
The Peaceful Warriors formed back in November 2020 at the Casino de Saxon (Switzerland) during a founding residency. The different musicians had however worked with Mark over the years, strong friendships serving as a basis for the collaboration.
After a few lineup changes, the band is now composed of:
Mark Kelly (acoustic + electric + bass guitar, vocals, gongs, percussion, ukulele, banjo)
Tony Leggett (trombone, bugle, percussions, harp, backing vocals, flute and tin whistle)
Marine Le Mouël (double bass and backing vocals)
Robins Azonnoudo (udu, drums, congas and backing vocals)
Ernest Ikwanga (bass guitar, backing vocals)
Betty Patural (guitar, synth).
“See You Again — is a very beautiful and high-quality work. It has an elegant Indie Folk acoustic melody and a pleasant rhythm section. All this emphasises the overall sound quality. Also, its warm Summer vocals create a stunning product worthy of your collection!”
