Local and international institution, Zic Zazou explores its intemperance turned into a brass band. With displayed joy, the nine musicians-actors-singers, playing multiple instruments – traditional, renewed or invented ones – relate through texts, songs and sound inventions what has created their identity, the Zic Zazou stamp. They open with Jean-Pierre Bodin (Saint Cécile Banquet and Chemise propre et souliers vernis, literally Clean shirt and patent shoes) a new page of their story. And what a story! Coming from the association “Les Indiens Picards” (literally: “The Indians of Picardie”), the company took the name Zic Zazou in 1987 and became professional in 1992: over twenty years of creation and tours. Their atypical career has always mixed street arts and shows with music, poetry and humour. They blend everything: fanfare, punk version of fine article, rock with accordion, funk… but they always keep their vitality. They’re as comfortable with piano, electric guitar and trombone as with chair legs and bottles!



“You find in them Tati and Zapa, Chaplin and Pierre Henry, Roudoudou and Edgar Varese. Zic Zazou is an exhilarating company, a virtuoso with intact freshness. It’s an example in the world of music for a laugh.” Bertrand Dicale - Le Figaro “Our ears are delighted. From cacophony rise polyphony and harmony. This mastered shambles is great art.” Ibert Algoud - Le Canard Enchaîné
