Take Me Out : Vtoroi Ka en concert à Paris !

The duo Vtoroi Ka returns from Kyrgyzstan to make you dance to their addictive post-punk with eclectic influences at the Alhambra!

Take Me Out presents… Vtoroi Ka in concert! live/events/vtoroi-ka VTOROI KA Vtoroi Ka is a duo with multiple influences from Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

Formed in 2017 by long-time friends, they released their first full album Duet in 2020 and found success with their first viral hit, the youth-oriented hip-hop track Dependence Day (2020), followed by Serial (2022).

But it was with the Baxter Dury-esque single released after the post-punk that their popularity truly exploded. Their latest album, the third of their career, Piggy Ride (2024), followed this surge in power.

The key to their cross-border appeal lies in their ability to combine musical talent with an innate sense of theatricality in their performances. Their humorous music videos and quirky social media promotions are just as remarkable as their music.

Vtoroi Ka's commitment to Kyrgyzstan, where they grew up, also plays an essential role.

Unlike many artists who seek to integrate into the global music industry by moving to major metropolises, they film their music videos in mountainous Bishkek and manage to remain authentic while making audiences want to discover this vibrant but often overlooked corner of the world.

Their other great asset is their approach to each stage of their musical journey. They seemed destined to create a successful post-punk record, but they defy categories with their latest release.

With the track PO GUBE EP, Sultan and Ilya have created an ambitious, vocal-centric work with complex rhythms and irresistible emotion. At the heart of each song - and particularly the single Po Gube - is a true ear for pop and its ability to convey emotions.

When Sultan's voice is added, the result is particularly compelling. Vtoroi Ka offers a soundtrack for ecstasy
