Tshegue

About

Tshegue doesn't just make music; they conjure a primal energy, a raw, unbridled force that shakes listeners to their core. This Parisian duo, comprised of vocalist Faty Sy Savanet and producer Nicolas "Dakou" Repac, blasts through genre constraints, creating a sonic tapestry woven from Afrobeat's infectious rhythms, punk's visceral urgency, and the hypnotic pulse of industrial electronica. Tshegue burst onto the scene in 2017 with their self-titled EP, instantly captivating audiences with Faty's powerful vocals, sung in Lingala and French, and Dakou's innovative production. Their music is more than just sound; it’s a vibrant exploration of identity, heritage, and the human experience. Shows are legendary for their intensity, a ritualistic experience of sweat-drenched bodies moving in unison to the hypnotic beat. While relatively quiet on the release front in recent years, Tshegue's earlier output cemented their place as a vital voice in the global music landscape, a fierce reminder of music's power to transcend language and connect us all. Their absence has only heightened anticipation for what's next, a promise of more sonic exploration and visceral performance to come.
