Francophone chanson gets renewed every day. Young talents abound and rival with originality. Some even dare trying new ways of instrumentation, writing and staging to satisfy their artistic needs.
Mac Abbé et le Zombi orchestra is definitely one of them, able to create a baroque and fantastical universe where their compositions are transcended. Concert after concert the band gather an ever growing and heterogeneous audience. The artistic recipe works and meets the heart of the public who feels involved and touched by their performance.
The combination of music, writing and theatre, quickly led their concept to be performed on all kinds of musical stages. In a couple of months, Mac Abbé was able to book an 80-date tour in France and Switzerland.
Reminiscent of tunes from an old 1930 radio, their Tim Burtonesque performance, including guitar, piano, double bass, tuba and drums, seduces everyone with its wild Swing, crazy Charleston and good old rock’n roll. The lyrics are nonetheless sharp and savagely percussive for your pleasure and entertainment. Mac Abbé and its zombies are altogether funny, cynical and provocative. Sometimes immoral, but what fun!!!!
