TAPETTO TRACI

Tapetto Traci biography
Tapetto Traci is an Avant-Jazz French quartet that was formed in 2000. They started as an acoustic jazz band with rock tendencies and their two first albums, Relax Ay Voo and Sucre d?ogre, features this kind of music, with slight chamber-rock influences. After these albums, around 2007, they changed their sound to a heavier kind of music, but still adding jazz elements to it. They turned to a more avant-gardiste approach too. You can hear this other side of theirs in their 2009 album, Neurula. I personally consider both of their musical eras to be good, but they would probably appeal to different audiences.
Trapetto Traci toured with Zu, Cheval de frise and Api Wizz. They have been compared to these bands and Zappa, Magma, Primus and Mr. Bungle often. They blend different kinds of music to make a unique, truly surprising and creative music.
