Terrenoire

Terrenoire, a duo from Saint-Étienne formed by brothers Théo and Raphaël Herrerias, will perform at Espace Malraux Joue Les Tours on Wednesday, April 8, 2026. Their music moves forward in measured steps, worked like a living material in which electronic textures and acoustic instruments intertwine. Machines converse with the strings, motifs settle in, and a clear voice carries lyrics that prize simplicity as much as detail.

Revealed with Les Forces contraires (2020) and crowned Revelation of the Year at the Victoires de la Musique in 2022, the two brothers multiplied their performance dates before launching, in 2023, a festival in their home neighborhood, Terrenoire, in Saint-Étienne. A single thread links it all: a very concrete grounding and an attentiveness to the world around them.

With Protégé.e, their new album, Terrenoire maps out in fourteen tracks a space of shadows and embers, where care for others and a taste for the long term shape the songwriting. On stage, the duo lets these pieces breathe between electronic pulses, understated layers, and persistent melodies. This date at Espace Malraux Joue Les Tours promises an intimate encounter with their recent songs and a few standout tracks, in a format conceived as a journey from whisper to collective surge.
