After dealing in mostly Latin tropical styles for over a decade, with the psychedelic cumbia of his band Chicha Libre in particular, Brooklyn based Olivier Conan now leads Combo Daguerre, a group that performs original French tunes with a psychedelic edge and a mostly Latin crew. Its hybrid style is informed by boleros, cumbia, cha chas, 60's rock, French chanson and 1930s surrealism - and its music is filled with joy and darkness, deep grooves and dirges, nostalgia and futurism.
Combo Daguerre could be seen as the francophone heir to Chicha Libre - and like its predecessor, the project owes much to New York city where cultural and linguistic borders are fluid and Pan-Latin influences can be found in every possible musical genre. Its songs, both joyous and serious, deal with exile, misplaced nostalgia and a language adulterated by distance.
With Olivier Conan (Chicha Libre) - cuatro, vocals; Adele Fournet - keyboards and Felipe Wurst - guitar (Banda Chuska/Tipa Tipo); Andres Fonseca - drums; Neil Ochoa (Los Crema Paraiso, Chicha Libre) - percussion and Dan Martinez - bass.
