A story of friendship, passion, and the vibrant spirit of global music
The Bitin Brass Band (or BBB, if you're on friendly terms) has been bringing its bold, brassy sound to the nights of St. Barth for over a decade. Drawing on a rich mix of influences—French, Latin, jazz, Creole, Balkan, Rap, and Anglo-Saxon—our music is a blend of life experiences and musical journeys that stretch from Marie-Galante to New Orleans and even Cuba.
Trying to sum up the BBB in a few lines? Impossible. Their fans put it best:
“Le meilleur Brass Band de St Barth du monde!”
“They're a good-looking group. Too bad they play music.”
“Le Bitin est le meilleur médicament non remboursé par la sécurité sociale”
“Listening to the Bitin is like putting on shoes that won't stop dancing.”
“Their music is strong enough to blow hurricanes off course”
“Le talent leur court après. Mais le Bitin court plus vite”
“They're never quite the same twice—always better.”
“En musique, on joue juste ou on joue Tsigane. Le Bitin joue Tsigane”
“When the bar empties out, it's because the Bitin is playing somewhere else.”
“Le bitin ne s’écoute pas, il se boit”
