About this Event
General public event
The concert
Taqsim Driver is the new project from the Fanfare Couche-Tard band. Curious about and inspired by music from all over the world (Lebanese dabké, Albanian tallava or Azeri mugham, for example), Taqsim Driver seeks to resonate samples of various traditional instruments (derbuka, kerkabou, saz...) with contemporary music (dance, trap, rap...) to foster a rich musical dialogue between tradition and modernity. From continent to continent, the group invites you to travel and discover in an energetic, joyful trance.
The artists
Created by the musicians of the Fanfare Couche-Tard band, who have toured for 15 years in Europe, India, Morocco and South Africa, Taqsim Driver released their first videos and singles in 2023 and embark on a tour of Canada and Europe in the spring of 2024.
