Zentone

If you love the physical vibrations of dub and the energy of sound systems, this concert is an event.

Zentone is not just a collaboration: it is the historic fusion of two monuments of French dub: Zenzile (the godfathers of a dub tinged with rock and poetry) and High Tone (the Lyon masters of a powerful, futuristic dub-electro).

Twenty years after their first studio encounter, they return to present their most accomplished project: Messenger. A live show that promises to be a monumental dub mass. What is their story? Zentone's story begins in the early 2000s, at the golden age of French dub.

At the time, the two groups shared the same desire to shake up the codes of instrumental reggae by injecting machines and rock or electro textures.

After a first joint album that remained etched in people's memories, they decided to turn this short-lived project into a full-fledged live band. To give this adventure a new dimension, they brought in singer Jolly Joseph.

His voice brings a "roots" soul and a vocal power that perfectly unite the worlds of the two formations. What atmosphere can you expect on stage? Zentone's concert is a physical experience.

It is the meeting of the warmth of a rock band playing live and the hypnotic power of electronic music. On stage, the musicians face each other, mix their instruments (heavy basslines, hypnotic drums, brass, machines) and reinvent their tracks live with "delays" and "reverbs".

The live show alternates subtly between two forces: A powerful, incisive dub-electro, built for trance and movement. An organic, soulful roots reggae, carried by Jolly Joseph's vocal lines.

Whether you are a first-hour fan of the French dub scene or a curious enthusiast of heavy bass and hypnotic music, this concert is a rare collective experience. Seeing ten musicians of this c
