Alambic is a band from Marseilles, France that distills a unique blend of songs, humor, and festive Latin rhythms. Their music is an anthem to both celebration and struggle—a soundtrack for the lost souls, the small-town dreamers, and the laid-back wanderers. Their sound mixes Cape Verdean beats, Cuban salsa, Jamaican reggae, and the warmth of Caribbean rum, all wrapped in raw French lyrics as rich and deep as red wine. Formed by six musicians who have stayed together since the beginning, Alambic is built on friendship and brotherhood. With over 100 concerts across France, Europe, and even two tours in Asia, they’ve played in massive arenas and intimate cafés.
Featured Song:
“LADA” is from Alambic’s second album, Heures creuses, released in 2024. The song paints a nostalgic and humorous picture of an unpredictable road trip in an old Lada, a car popular in Soviet countries in the 1970s and 80s. The car symbolizes life’s detours, false starts, and unexpected breakdowns, while embracing the journey with resilience and companionship. “I’ll take you there / A trip in a Lada / We’ll break down / Life is like that.”
