La Fanfare Couche-Tard (Balkan Swing) - Saturday 30th @ 21.00

Eastern Europe music lovers, mixed with powerful nuclear energy and fine humour, the Fanfare Couche Tard  (understand ‘Night Owls Band’) is to music what an SUV is to travel. These 5 modern-day heroes will play in a bar, in the streets, under a circus tent, on a barge, in front of one hundred as well as two thousand people, in the morning, but especially in the evening. 

After nearly 7 years on the road and more than 250 show through several European countries, the Fanfare Couche Tard is not going to stop it there.

The next step of celebrity is surely going to happen during the upcoming India Tour 2016, during which the Fanfare Couche Tard will give everything…and maybe more! These five fellows come to India in an acoustic format to make us sweat at the crazy rhythm of their musical universe. Bring your best dance shoes and your best dance moves and be ready to....DANCE !!

The dream team is composed of Gregory on vocals and clarinet; Florian on saxophone and doudouk, Nathanael on the accordion, synth and vocals; Patrice on tuba and bass synth, and Robin on the drums.

She has also been honoured with the Padma Shree and Padma Vibhushan, for her lifelong social activism among the dispossessed tribal communities and marginalised people in the country.
