The band from Marseille sings in an almost forgotten language, Occitan, in an inconceivable way. The exceptional voices of Manu Theron, Denis Sampieri, Sebastien Spessa, Benjamin Novarino-Giana and Rodin Kaufmann, the sounds from clapping and stomping of feet combined with tambourines, and drums take their music down paths that remind us of Africa and Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Finland and Varttina, Arabic melodies and occasionally combine with hip hop and reggae. This impressive live musical team is often hosted by some of the world’s biggest music festivals.
