Petites Annonces

Gypsy Swing, Punk Manouche & French Chansons

About Me

Formed by a Frenchman, ex-Paris punk (Ali Stones & les Couscous Makers, RedRum..), Petites Annonces came about in an unusual way - a small ad in the local magazine - hence the name, (it means Small Ads in French).
Petites Annonces play a unique mix of gypsy jazz (Django Reinhardt et al), those bonnes old french chansons, and a genre unknow until now in this country : "Punk Manouche". Be prepared to hear something different avec un accent francais !
