Hippocampe Fou

Presented by Office culturel vallée de l'Hérault PLATE-SV. Hippocampe Fou continues to carve out his own path. For over ten years, he has explored the depths of language with rare ease, blending verbal acrobatics inherited from Boby Lapointe or Brassens with the flows of Busta Rhymes, Saïan Supa Crew or MC Solaar. His abundant, inventive writing has earned him recognition as the French-speaking rapper with the most diverse vocabulary (study conducted by Rap Minerz, 2023). On stage, his mastery of flow gives substance to his stories: each track becomes a cinematic adventure, moving between humour and poetry. Four years after a memorable appearance in Gignac, Hippocampe Fou returns to Le Sonambule with a new album. A jubilant dive into an imagination that is still just as fertile.

+ Minus

If Hippocampe Fou juggles with words, Minus electrifies them. The same taste for storytelling, the same freedom of writing, the same desire to twist reality in order to better tell it. With their new album Contes Électriques, the trio unfolds high-voltage stories where nervous rock and electro pop collide under alternating current. The tragic and grotesque tales are embodied by the narrator Justin Dreveton, accompanied by the humming bass of Myriem Bayad and the incisive percussion of Adrien Lagarde. Minus does not merely tell the story of our era: it transforms it into a captivating sonic adventure.
