Carpathian
Karpatt is a French band that performs French Nouvelle Chansons and Nova Cançó Catalana . The composer of the chansons is Frédéric Rollat .
history
The band has been made up of three musicians since 1994: Frédéric Rollat, who writes the lyrics, sings and plays the guitar, Hervé Jegousso, who plays the double bass, and Gaétan Lerat, the guitarist. In this small line-up they play jazz, waltz, Java and swing. The genre can be classified between happy hardcore, melodramatic melodies, pop songs and rock, and Spanish and most recently Cuban influences have also been integrated into their music. During their performances, they expand the spectrum of their instruments from banjo, harmonica, accordion to wind instruments. The lyrics are mostly humorous.
In 2008 Karpatt performed for the first time in Germany on a tour. Appearances at Festival Perspectives Saarbrücken , Schaubudensommer Dresden, Werkstattwoche Jena and others followed
In 2009 the trio became a quartet and the drummer Luc Durand joined the group.
