France: Six Beninese Gangbé Brass Band musicians face deportation orders, appeal pending

Six Beninese musicians from the Gangbé Brass Band, living in France since 2022 on “talent passport” visas, received orders to leave France on July 15, 2026, along with their families. A decline in concert bookings has weakened their administrative situation, and authorities have cited insufficient resources for two of the musicians. In Douarnenez, a trombonist hired by the music school cannot begin his contract because he lacks a visa, and the town has contacted the prefect.

The Festival of Black Divinities will hold its 11th edition in January 2027 in Aného-Glidji, with Côte d’Ivoire—particularly the northern city of Kouto—as its guest of honor and Brazil expected to participate. The announcement was made during the festival’s 20th-anniversary celebration on October 13, 2026, attended by Culture Minister Isaac Tchiakpé and Brazil’s ambassador, Luiz Ivaldo Villafañe Gomes.
