Collectif Métissé

Formed in France in 2009 around Soma Riba, Collectif Métissé gathers several singers and DJs in a variable-geometry group format designed for the stage and festive tracks. Its repertoire blends dance, zouk, dancehall, summer pop and Latin accents, with songs built on immediate refrains, strong rhythms and an aesthetic oriented toward dance. Collectif Métissé emerged at the end of the 2000s with the singles 'Laisse-toi aller bébé', 'On n’est pas couché' and then 'Debout pour danser', before releasing studio albums and touring across France, both at popular festivals and on stages of seaside resorts, fairs and concert halls. Over the years, the project has seen several member changes, while keeping a core led by Soma Riba, Nadia Lahcene and DJ Boogy, with the participation of other performers depending on periods. The discography of Collectif Métissé includes notably Collectif Métissé (2009), L’Esprit de la fête (2010), Destination soleil (2011), Y’a plus K danser (2013), Rendez-vous au soleil (2015), Sur la route (2018), Décennie (2019), Danza Latino (2021), Fiesta Latina (2022), Viva la Fiesta! (2023) and Mega Fiesta (2024). Several collaborations punctuate this journey, notably with Chico and the Gypsies, Michael Jones or Mario Ramsamy, in a register that remains centered on covers, festive adaptations and Caribbean, Latin and variety influences.
