Les Blérots de R.A.V.E.L.

Les Blérots de R.A.V.E.L. (« Renouveau Artistique Volontairement Élaboré En Live ») started in 1996 in Maule (Yvelines) as a theatre troupe before turning to music. Its seven multi-instrumentalists mixed Gypsy swing, Slavic and Yiddish music, jazz and rock in highly theatrical shows.

From Vol au-dessus d’un nid de cagoules (2000) to Sauve qui peut (2010), the band released five studio albums and two live ones, played the Bataclan, La Cigale and Solidays, and toured as far as Russia, Thailand and Indonesia. It split after a last concert in Maule on 19 September 2015.

It came to Les Mouillotins in 2008 and again in 2011.
