The Balek Band

The Balek Band is a Nantes band that combines acoustic instruments with electronic machines. Syncopated rhythms, melodies from elsewhere, acid sounds and whispered vocals: this is music made for dancing, somewhere between the club and traditional music.

Built around synths and drum machines, with live bass, guitar and percussion, the four-piece mixes 80s influences, zouk, italo-disco and balearic. It released the EP Danse Primitive on Beauty and the Beat and the album Médecines in June 2022 on Abstrack Records.

They played Les Mouillotins in 2022, at the 20th edition.
