Zoufris Maracas

Zoufris Maracas will be at La Belle Électrique in Grenoble on April 2, 2026. The group forges its path with a brand of French chanson that refuses borders, driven by colorful guitars and roaming melodies. Between the poetry of everyday life and a social outlook, their lyrics speak of here and elsewhere, with an energy that makes you want to move while never losing meaning. Alter-globalists at heart but apolitical by label, they shake up the codes and craft choruses that fit the times.

Often compared to Mano Negra or Les Négresses Vertes, they have, over the years, fashioned a distinctive sound nourished by journeys and encounters. With four albums and more than 700 concerts, Zoufris Maracas has established itself on the French alternative scene through word of mouth, the power of their lyrics, and arrangements that invite travel. Their playground is dancing to serious subjects, utopia slung over the shoulder, and freedom in their sights. See them in Grenoble to hear them as they like to present themselves: up close with the people, somewhere between celebration and a chronicle of the world.
