Info
On January 30, 2026, at Maison Populaire in Montreuil, Barkanan shares the bill with Alex Montembault. Carried by brothers Ianis and Léo, Barkanan shapes a pared-down folk, performed up close. The two multi-instrumentalists work with strings and silences, breaths and subtleties. Their songwriting turns inward: small everyday scenes, perceptions of time, contemporary vulnerabilities. On stage, closeness prevails and the dynamics remain restrained; Ianis’s clear voice takes center while Léo weaves spare arrangements on piano, guitar or drums. A musical shelter set apart from the tumult.
Sharing the bill, Alex Montembault continues this sensitive thread. Trained in jazz, he blends chanson française with echoes of 1970s rock to carry songs about identity, family and what is whispered between the lines. Brought to wider public attention by his portrayal of Marie-Jeanne in Starmania, he now advances with a personal, direct repertoire, where guitar and piano support a singular voice. A restrained, forthright songwriting.
