La Rue Kétanou, Tournée

Presented by Mélodyn Productions and Migal Productions

They number in the hundreds, in the thousands, at La Rue Kétanou's concerts. Hundreds, thousands: loyal fans, the initiated, the curious, the converted. Always ready for reunions. Always ready to march along to the choruses and the emancipated 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 abandoned: it is held together. Sometimes the rope is only loosened to satisfy other impulses, to open other doors, to experiment with other forms of transmission.

For more than twenty years, La Rue Kétanou has cultivated a free and fraternal chanson. 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-race groove of percussionist Narjess Saad, a free electron trained by GUEM and formerly with Playing For Change (Manu Chao). © Melodyn
