For over 10 years, ALKABAYA, led by Bastien (vocals), Florian, Thibaut, and Anthony, has been delivering French pop music firmly rooted in its time, in the vein of MPL and Boulevard des Airs. Supported by irresistible melodies, their lyrics, both intimate and socially conscious, speak to everyone. There's a touch of Gaël Faye in the writing, a hint of Ben Mazué in the flow, and a hint of Lavilliers in the timbre...
Clearly pointing out the absurdities of the world, ALKABAYA doesn't just denounce them: the four members invite us to find a little poetry in the chaos, to lift our heads and let go in order to stay together, no matter what, in the face of adversity. Built around a solid guitar-keyboard-drums section, melodic instruments enrich the whole with a luminous musicality.
Over the years, each of the band's albums has hit the mark and resonated deeply, demonstrating a cohesion that continues to enrich the collective's musical and human project. ALKABAYA also remains a band perfectly suited for the stage, a true invitation to celebrate. With over 450 concerts, the group spreads its wings with the same spirit of sharing, tirelessly crisscrossing the roads of France and beyond. From venues to festivals (Aluna, Paroles et Musiques,...), each concert is a breath of fresh air, a generous invitation to both think and dance.
