Matmatah

Originally a pub and cafe guitar duo called the Tricard Twins, Matmatah came collectively once the original duo (Tristan Nihouarn and Cedric Floc’h) met up with bassist Eric Digaire and drummer Jean-François Paillard and took within the name Matmatah, following the Tunisian city of Matmata, where Nihouarn had spent time mainly because a kid. Their first recording, La Ouaceh bought from the up to 300,000 copies, plus they spent another year or two touring. They obtained a little bit of infamy within an arrest for narcotics, however the hubbub wasn’t plenty of to boost product sales for his or her second, and it marketed modestly. An Asian tour was where in fact the band spent a great deal of 2004, and in 2007 Matmatah released the record La Cerise.
