Don Nino

Raised between Europe and America and shaped through years of numerous musical experiences, Don Nino (a.k.a nicolas laureau) is one of those French artists who builds up their own musical idiosyncrasy.
His voice tends to synchronize with the intricate melodies and rhythms created using his various instruments of choice : acoustic and electric guitar, organ, piano, harmonium, electronics, banjo, glokenspiel, kalimba and many others...
The sober, minimalist poetry of his lyrics, touch a surface and hint at what seems to be a deeply personal source of inspiration.

A Filetta

The group A Filetta was created in 1978 from a deep passion for the songs and land of Corsica. Since then, the group has soared to the peak of vocal harmony. Unlimited talent, a piercing vocal sensitivity and an overwhelming emotional fervor are
the trademarks of A Filetta magic. No one leaves their concerts unmoved. No wonder that the filmmaker Bruno Coulais has called on A Filetta many times to produce music for his films.

Para One

Para One is most known for a string of hard-hitting vinyl only tracks, but the "Beat Down" EP (2003) wasn't his first music venture. From an earlier digital hip hop/reggae era stem some vinyl, cassettes and cd releases on smaller labels such as Co2 Activity, Quality Streetz and N Records.
Moving on to colder and more electronic pastures, while seeking to infuse his music with more emotion, he started working with Paris's crunkest rap crew : TTC, joining them on their 2 lp's "Ceci n'est pas un disque" and the hit "Batards Sensibles" (Big Dada).
