Arthur Fu Bandini

On 12 November 2026 at La Maroquinerie in Paris, Arthur Fu Bandini arrives with French-language songwriting taking the lead. At the crossroads of sung prose, rock, stripped-back electronics and taut pop, he bends genres to produce a direct, image-rich work that probes universal questions. A songwriter, composer, performer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist, he moves like a craftsman, deconstructing or reassembling forms to suit the times without needless affectation.

Inspired by The Clash, Ian Dury, Sleaford Mods, Suicide, Leonard Cohen and Viagra Boys, he sets punk, post‑rock and rock poetry in dialogue within a restrained, precise fusion. The lyrics take precedence, carried by a deep voice and a narrative phrasing that hooks the listener—balancing irony, tension and clarity. On stage, his set favors economy and impact, privileging speech, rhythm and minimalist electricity so the words can breathe. A raw and clear proposition, where commitment and post‑surreal imagery form the guiding thread—discover it at La Maroquinerie that evening.
