Soviet Suprem Karim Ziad Malik Ziad - Festival d'Été • Soviet Suprem

The Soviet Suprem collective, led by R.wan and Toma Feterman, returns to inflame Cabaret Sauvage. Prepare yourself for an evening where Balkan rhythms and punk energy meet for a memorable performance.

Soviet Suprem is the union of two figures on the French scene: R.wan, known for his work with the group Java, and Toma Feterman, also a member of La Caravane Passe. Founded in the early 2010s, the duo quickly imposed its unique style, fusing Eastern European sonorities with engaged and often humorous lyrics. Their debut album, "L'Internationale", released in 2014, laid the foundation of their universe, blending Soviet propaganda samples and traditional instruments to create an atmosphere that is both festive and subversive. They are renowned for their ability to transform each concert into a true popular celebration, where the absurd meets social criticism.

Their music, often described as "balkan-punk" or "Soviet songs", relies on catchy melodies, omnipresent brass, and rhythms that irresistibly invite dancing. Tracks like "L'Internationale" or "Rider c'est voler" have become anthems for their fans, illustrating their quirky approach and keen sense of staging. Their lyrics, in French, play with Soviet-era clichés while addressing contemporary themes with biting irony. This duality between serious content and light form is what makes Soviet Suprem's particularity and strength.

On stage, Soviet Suprem is an experience in itself. Performances are characterized by overflowing energy, thematic costumes, and constant interaction with the audience. The band doesn't just play its music; it creates an immersive spectacle where humor, dancing, and music intertwine. Cabaret Sauvage, with its intimate atmosphere and unique setting in the heart of La Villette Park, is an ideal place for the eccentric and festive universe of Soviet Suprem. This performance in Paris is an opportunity to discover or rediscover their ability to transform a concert hall into a true popular ball, where one forgets conventions to be swept away by the collective's gentle madness.

Their discography, enriched by albums like "Marx Attack" (2018), continues to explore and refine their sonic signature, while maintaining this touch of originality that sets them apart.
