Bio
Entre l'afrobeat, le soul, le vieux r'n'b, le disco et le reggae, il ya PAPAGROOVE. Un papa qui a le rythme dans le sang, un funky daddy qui aime quand les cuivres chauffent, que la basse gronde et que les percussions et tambours sauvages vous entra�nes dans une danse fr�n�tique, v�ritable tourbillon hypnotique. We're not blind est le titre de leur tout premier album, paru il y a quelques mois, et on n'est certainement pas sourd pourrait-on ajouter! Du gros calibre... (P. Baillargeon, VOIR)
Members
Martin Siberok (HOUR), August 7th, 2008 Lordy Lord - a 13-piece from Montreal blasting out a healthy dose of funky R&B and Afrobeat for a good solid hour. Impressive live, these hometown guys prove with their debut album that they're a force to be reckoned with. Musically, PAPAGROOVE takes us on a rich aural journey that stretches from West Africa (Mercy Lady, Rimouna) to Oakland, USA (East Road, Little Man). The members - all outstanding players - run a tight ship, while vocalist Sebastien Francisque keeps it evenly keeled. Kudos go to the five-strong horn section that punctuates each song with tight blasts of brass. Sounding like Fela Kuti and Tower Of Power all rolled into one, PAPAGROOVE is an original band with the right political message. **** 4 stars

Sounds Like
PAPAGROOVE is a home-grown collective,bursting right out of Montreal's jazz/world scene and they are certain not to leave any listeners unaffected. With a powerhouse five piece brass section and R & B/soul-tinged vocals, thier music is impossible to listen to sitting down.
