Just like having a time machine between the 1930's and today. Over the past 12 years the Balluche de la Saugrenue has developped a unique style between singing, swing music, Musette* and contemporary styles. Behind the Balluche de la Saugrenue are five musicians with diverse musical backgrounds who have made it their mission to dust off music from Paris' cosmopolitan 1930s and to inject it with a generous dose of the present! They travel around festivals and towns aboard their caravan-production or on stage and roll out their show of songs to iconoclastic rhythms: reggae-waltz, paso-punk and swing-dancefloor, to create a dynamic and poetic musical show in the form of a ‘whimsical ball’ where emotion is combined with an irresistible desire to dance. 2016 was a turning point, with a new team, a new show, the use of more modern instruments, and more ample space given to the lyrics and the staging/ theatrics of the songs. Today, the group performs two distinct concerts: Balluche Soundsystem, a performance combining cotemporary acoustics and the 1930s styles, and Le P'tit Bal Perdu (Little Lost Ball), a full-fledged cabaret ball served the old-fashioned way. Internationally recognised and identified as world-music artists, the Balluche has performed in France and other parts of Europe (Germany, Italy) as well as Japan and Laos. They have just released (2019) their 5th album, ‘Tone of Musette’.
