Carrousel brings modern French folk pop to stages around the world: melodic lyrics and rhythmic choruses with a dash of poetry, wrapped up in chansons, pop, and folk.The French-Swiss duo Sophie Burande and Léonard Gogniat generates an infectious energy that immediately captivates the audience and creates a special sense of intimacy. Guest musicians enrich the live experience and expand the characteristic Carrousel sound, which focuses on vocals and guitar accompaniment, with additional instruments and timbres. The band appears at Ruhrfestspiele with their third album, “Éclaircies,” which can be translated as “ray of hope.” An album that moves between silence and storm, loneliness and separation, dreams and freedom. It creates an atmosphere that feels like the first rays of sunshine after a summer rain: positive and hopeful. Supported by Sparkasse Vest.
