Band Biography for la machine:

The powerful and captivating sound of La Machine produces a warm and personal music which assumes entirely its traditional aspect. This fusion is modern and federating.
The couple hurdy-gurdy (G. Jolivet) and bagpipe (J. Barbances) insure the authenticity of the style, and the inventive balance created between these two instruments allows to explore other musical universes. Doublebass (J-L Cayzac) and percussions (M. Riou) offer a swaying rhythmic laying where you’ll feel groovy afro-cuban tones. And when Julien pitches his raw and tensed voice, appropriating traditional songs of Centre France, the result is a fusion that classify La machine at the centre of the actual music.
