Info
Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul are a Ghent-based electronic duo. Their precise, high-energy electro-pop draws on influences such as Grace Jones and David Byrne.
Released in 2022 on Soulwax’s DEEWEE label, their debut album Topical Dancer tackles themes including racism, misogyny, postcolonialism and social media vanity. Since then, they have appeared on Later... with Jools Holland, won three MIAs in Belgium and played headline shows and festivals around the world, from Glastonbury and Sónar to Big Ears and Pitchfork Music Festival Chicago.
On 11.03.2027, they will present their new album Mainland Madinina at Astra Kulturhaus in Berlin. The album took shape during a period of major personal change. Adigéry became a mother and lost her father to Alzheimer’s; Pupul later became a father and released his solo album Letter to Yu, inspired by his late mother’s hometown, Hong Kong. The album’s title refers to their respective roots: mainland China and Hong Kong for Pupul, through his grandparents and mother, and Madinina, the Indigenous name for the Caribbean island of Martinique, for Adigéry, through her mother. Written in Belgium and Martinique and once again co-produced with Soulwax, it explores grief, parenthood, diaspora and colonial history. Musically, it moves between house, synth-pop, post-punk and ballads, anchored by Charlotte’s distinctive voice and the duo’s friendship, openness and sense of humour.
