Zoufris Maracas

Zoufris Maracas will perform on 15 November 2026 at the MeM in Rennes. Between zesty French chanson and music without borders, the band forges a singular path: richly textured guitars, brass up front, traveling percussion and choruses that move from cumbia to rumba and through Afro tempos. Their lyrics, written with an everyday poetry, speak of exile, inequality, ecology and freedom, with that blend of clear-eyed insight and mischief that makes you want to move while really listening.

Often likened to Mano Negra or Les Négresses Vertes, they have made their mark across four albums and hundreds of shows. Their strength lies in direct songwriting, a warm groove and a way of getting people to dance to serious subjects without overdoing it. On stage the group plays as a collective, lets the songs breathe, invites the audience to join the choruses and circulates energy like on a street corner. An event for those who love musical journeys and stories that resonate with the times.
