Camille
There are four artists who have recorded as Camille: 1. Camille Dalmais, a one time political science student, whose first album, Le Sac Des Filles, was released in 2002.
Then, she was part of Marc Collin's Nouvelle Vague project, which consists of old new-wave songs transformed into bossa nova. In 2005, Camille released Le fil.
This is a concept album, built on one note (a "B") that starts at the beginning of the album and stops at its end.
All the songs of the album are constructed on the voice of Camille with only one instrument (double-bass, and sometimes a keyboard).

Sanseverino
Stéphane Sanseverino, born in 1962, traces his Italian origins back to his grandparents, a pair of enterprising Neapolitans who emigrated to France in the 1950s. Stéphane's father, a plumber by trade, chose to work in the paper industry so that he could travel with his family. And thus it was that, between the age of three and sixteen, young Stéphane travelled the world with his parents, sampling the very different cultures of countries such as Bulgaria, New Zealand, Yugoslavia and Mexico.

Superflu
Superflu est né en 1994, à Lille, autour des chansons que Nicolas bidouillait sur son 4 pistes à la maison. Nicolas, Sonia, Sébastien ont tourné dans les salles et les bars du Nord. Et puis Gauthier qui faisait leur son et, à l'occasion, quelques premières parties, les a rejoints à la basse. Pas de batterie : l'essentiel des chansons repose sur les guitares et les voix. En 1996, une moitié du groupe émigre à Paris où habite déjà Gilles.

Palinka
Lively and moving french songs, music from the Balkans and gypsy jazz... As soon as you hear them playing the first notes, Palinka takes you on a trip... Since it was created in 2003, the quartet gave more than 400 shows in pubs, concert halls and festivals in Paris and all over France. In August 2004, Palinka went on a tour in the Balkans where they discovered...."Palinka", a local plumb liquor, which gave the band more than its name: their liveliness, and enthusiasm for musical encounters...
