Les Rita Mitsouko were perhaps the most peculiar of French rock duos. Founded in 1979 by Catherine Ringer and Fred Chichin, the band radiates renewal.
Combining humour, seriousness, folly and derision, and open to any and all musical influences, they have cruised through the decades. Their Latin-rock anthem Marcia Baïla might have been their true consecration, but who hasn’t hummed along to one of their other hits? Le petit train, Andy, C’est comme ça or even Les histoires d’A.
