Krismenn and Alem are not your typical singing duo.

Krismenn, a singer from Brittany known for singing in the Celtic language of Breton, sings a tune that twists and turns through the sounds of Alem, a world famous French beatboxer, who spits out sounds that no one thought could possibly come from a human mouth. Together, the sound is unlike anything you have heard before: a mesmerizing, haunting, foot-tapping, head-nodding tune.

Their sound is both past and present, combining an ancient language with futuristic musical sounds. It transcends any type of description; it’s not pop, classical, indie.

Watching Krismenn and Alem perform is extraordinary, not just because it will make you wonder how long they can go without taking a breath, but because of their musical chemistry. The duo is coming to New York this Saturday, October 1st, for the Vieilles Charrues Music Festival’s 25th Anniversary celebration in Central Park.
