Gangbé! is a 2018 Beninese musical documentary film directed by Arnaud Robert and produced by Aline Schmid for Intermezzo Films.[2][3][4]

The film is based on the journey of Gangbé Brass Band, a 10-member Beninese musical band known for their prowess in West African jùjú and traditional Vodou music, fused with Western jazz and big-band sounds. The band travels to Lagos to perform with Femi Kuti at the Shrine. The film received critical acclaim from reviewers.[5]
