La Rue Kétanou, Tournée

Presented by Mélodyn Productions and Migal Productions

They are hundreds, thousands at La Rue Kétanou's concerts. Hundreds, thousands: loyal fans, the knowing, the curious, the converted. Always available for reunions. Always ready to sing along to the choruses and the emancipated verses. And it is all there, in the story the band and the audience share, in that conspiratorial sharing that keeps 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 abandoned: it is held fast. Sometimes it is only eased off to satisfy other urges, open other doors, experiment with other forms of transmission. For over twenty years, La Rue Kétanou has cultivated a free and fraternal song. Built around the pen of Florent Vintrigner, the group brings together the cross-genre energy of Mourad Musset, the troupe 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).
