Zoufris Maracas

The band Zoufris Maracas performs at Espace Julien Marseille! Anti-globalization and borderless. Activist and apolitical. Environmentally minded and parasites of a French song tradition whose conventions they shake up with their colourful guitars and melodies from the far corners of the world, Zoufris Maracas do not fit into boxes! Faithful to their thirst for freedom and close to today's concerns, they succeed more than ever in combining poetic lyrics, social commitment and musical journeys. Often compared to Mano Negra or Les Négresses Vertes, the band has established itself over four albums and more than 700 concerts as a leading name on the French alternative scene. Their strength lies in their music, their lyrics, word of mouth and a fierce desire to dance to serious subjects.
