The artists

Polyphony and percussion

Since 2011, À Hue and À Dia have been traveling across the country to collect traditional songs. Their gatherings bring together people of diverse languages and backgrounds—from France and beyond. Each exchange offers them much more than a melody: a piece of culture and life stories, which they then share with their audience.

Their music stands out for its bold rearrangements and great creative freedom. Always striving for a powerful and recognizable sound, they draw on their diverse influences to craft rich polyphonies. Their circle song and improvisation techniques amplify this collective energy.

Percussion plays a central role in their world. It anchors the vocals and often invites the audience to dance. Their instrumental palette is eclectic:

Malagasy drum, alfaya, kayamba
Bendir, daf, claves, zils
Body percussion, clay pots, karkabou

A sonic journey where every note tells a story.

Rock / Indie Rock / Art Pop

Some songs stand on their own, while others seem destined to fall. Hermetic Delight, a band formed between Strasbourg and Ankara, navigates between these two poles with natural ease. Their aesthetic, at the crossroads of Sub Pop’s brilliance and 4AD’s mirages, took shape from the very beginning.

Their musical journey has evolved with remarkable consistency. Initially marked by an overflowing sound, somewhere between shoegaze and noise (Heartbeat, 2012; To The Grave To The Rave, 2013), they refined their approach with Vow (2016), a leaner, more intense live album. In 2020, F.A. Cult, produced by Charles Rowell (Crocodiles), marked a turning point: pop took center stage, the sound became more spacious, yet the tension remained.

Today, their strength lies in their ability to anchor a motif to the point of obsession, while everything around it seems in motion. Zeynep Kaya’s spellbinding voice envelops the listener, at times drawn out, at times tight. Delphine Padilla gives the drums a driving rhythm, each beat choreographed. Atef Aouadhi creates a dialogue between guitars and bass, at times crystalline, at times incisive, guiding the soundscape. The synths, at times bursting forth, at times discreet, either disrupt or illuminate the melodies.

Their new album, Vagabond Melodies (released on November 7, 2025), confirms this trajectory. More direct and grounded, it refines a now-unique musical language. Proof that persistence pays off.

Traditional songs

Dudes of Groove Society: Live Energy That Electrifies

This bold French quintet reinvents music with a unique blend of funk, electro, and hip-hop, which they call “new-funk-hip-hop.” Their inspiration? James Brown and the contemporary scene, which they reinterpret with a decidedly modern twist.

On stage, their chemistry works its magic: intense performances and a perfectly executed show transform every concert into an electrifying experience. Their captivating groove blends rhythm and energy, creating an atmosphere that is both powerful and infectious.

The group is currently preparing to release their debut album, but it’s on the road where they plan to really get their audience moving. Because it’s on stage that Dudes of Groove Society truly reveals its full potential—all the more reason not to miss their upcoming shows!
