PAPATEF, France
Esteemed by the underground scene (with Bumcello, CongopunQ, Olympic Gramofon) as well as the general public for his collaborations with -M-, Gotan Project, Bernard Lavilliers, Alain Bashung, Salif Keita…), drummer-percussionist Cyril Atef has been deciphering and composing with all the grooves on the planet for 25 years. With an unrivalled sense of showmanship, this one-man band takes to the decks, the machines, the percussion and the microphone with one ambition: to get you dancing until you’re in a trance! To achieve this, he’s put together a selection of tracks, which he mixes and improvises into a wild mega-global party. Get ready, because he’s already been heating up his turntables at the Petite Halle de la Villette for several months, with an XXL set that has Parisians dancing for hours… Are you up to the challenge?
