Hippocampe Fou

Presented by Office culturel vallée de l'Hérault PLATE-SV. Hippocampe Fou continues to carve out his own path.

For more than 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 & inventive writing has, moreover, earned him the title of the French-speaking rapper with the most diverse vocabulary (study conducted by Rap Minerz, 2023).

On stage, his mastery of flow gives body 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 joyful 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 bend reality in order to tell it better.

With his new album Contes Électriques, the trio unfolds high-voltage tales in which nervy rock & electro pop collide under alternating current.

The tragic & grotesque tales are embodied by 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 times: it transforms it into a captivating sonic adventure.
