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 been exploring 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 prolific and inventive writing also earned him recognition as the French-speaking rapper with the most diverse vocabulary (a study conducted by Rap Minerz, 2023).

On stage, his mastery of flow brings his stories to life: each track becomes a cinematic adventure, navigating between humour and poetry. Four years after a memorable appearance in Gignac, Hippocampe Fou returns to Le Sonambule with a new album.

A joyful dive into an imagination that remains as fertile as ever. + Minus While 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 tell it better.

With their new album Contes Électriques, the trio deploys high-tension stories where edgy rock and electro pop collide under alternating current.

The tragic and grotesque tales are embodied by narrator Justin Dreveton, accompanied by the roaring bass of Myriem Bayad and the incisive percussion of Adrien Lagarde. Minus does not merely recount our era: they transform it into a captivating sonic adventure.
