BALLSY SWING

Formed in the ruins of an old Rhône Valley mirror factory, this group carries within it a story worthy of a traditional tale, an ode to the tragic youth of musicians whose only sustenance was a few pizzas marinated in jasmine tea.

In this labyrinth of dark cellars, three promising members were raised in a cage, immersed in Bach, Jean-Michel Jarretelle, and other obscure repertoires of Auvergne folk dances. And during their childhood, they were often seen dragged, chained, across the dance floors of the most improbable venues, fed only on zucchini wings and coypu purée, all in the name of molding them into the future luminaries of the politically charged hip-hop musette industry.

Taking advantage of a moonless night, they managed to escape, finding refuge for a while in a strip club, before concluding their epic journey on the dance floors of folk clubs.

And so, today, Colin Delzant (cello), Valère Passeri (violin), and Lucas Thebaut (diatonic accordions) are proud to present the fruit of this incredible voyage: music that will make you dance, shout, perhaps even take flight to the sound of this swing… which has come a long way!
