La Rue Kétanou, Tournée

Presented by Mélodyn Productions and Migal Productions

They number in the hundreds, in the thousands, at La Rue Kétanou concerts. Hundreds, thousands of loyal fans, the knowing, the curious, the converted. Always ready for reunions. Always ready to march along to the choruses and the unbridled verses. And it is all there, in this story told by the band and the audience, in this conspiratorial sharing that has kept going into extra time for more than two decades. A group recognised and respected for its aesthetic and its integrity. Freedom of tone. Freedom of inspiration. Freedom of time too. But at La Rue Kétanou, a rope team is never let go: it is held close. Sometimes it is only loosened to satisfy other impulses, open other doors, experiment with other forms of transmission. For over twenty years, La Rue Kétanou has cultivated a free and fraternal kind of song. Built around the pen of Florent Vintrigner, the group brings together the cross-genre energy of Mourad Musset, the team spirit of Olivier Leite, the nomadic breath of accordionist Pierre Luquet (who joined in 2016) and, now, the mixed-heritage groove of percussionist Narjess Saad, a free electron trained with GUEM and formerly of Playing For Change (Manu Chao). © Melodyn
