Zoufris Maracas

Zoufris Maracas will be at Le Chabada in Angers on April 17, 2026. The band moves forward with a roaming song where guitars mingle with rhythms from elsewhere. Lyrics in French, an anti-globalization outlook, refusal of labels: their writing blends the poetry of everyday life with themes that cross the era, without posturing. On stage, the energy remains collective, celebration sits alongside reflection, and the choruses naturally invite the audience to move.

With four albums and hundreds of concerts to their name, Zoufris Maracas has carved out an identifiable groove between chanson and Latin influences, with the voice at the centre and a prominent place for backing vocals and percussion. There are connections to Mano Negra or Les Négresses Vertes in terms of momentum and a spirit of hybridization, but the band is forging its own path. Anger is turned into melodies, stories into refrains that stick, and the set at Le Chabada promises to be a panorama of this repertoire, between social chronicle, poetry in chiaroscuro, and an urge to dance.
