BAKUS N' BARZ (FR)
FREE HIP HOP
Bio
Airy and impactful, Bakus n' Barz' hip hop is polymorphic. It reflects the multiple trajectories that makes it what it is. Founded as a duo in 2017 during the Tribu Festival, the project then gathers Nikson Dorce (Barz), poet and rapper from Brooklyn, and Sébastien Bacquias (Bakus), double bassist from Dijon who is well-known on the jazz and modern music scene for his unstructured play and eclectic explorations. The electronic beats of Tony DreadFul, active member of the French dub-electro scene (ODG Prod) shortly joined the formation.
The trio experiments a nuanced sound with a poetic and incisive flow in which old school groove and improvised interventions meet.
