FUN CARMEN AU CCO VILLEURBANNE EN 2001 !!
FUN CARMEN À LA SCENE NATIONALE DE MACON / RESTOS DU COEUR : FEVRIER 2007
Sounds Like: After 15 years of colourful and full of adventures history, reinforced into a trio since 1998, those 3 female musicians have been driving into worldwide rythms and splashing around with their human warmth. Polyphony singing is still a major component of this trio.
A few months ago, highly-experienced drumplayer Martial Marzoukou Macaulay (les Innocents, Carte de Séjour, Rachid Taha, Zenzila…) joined the band supplemanting Fun Carmen’s show by his unique original and fine playing.
