Since 2013, the multidisciplinary collective turned music act QuinzeQuinze produces « climatic », colourful and insular music, carried by the Tahitian heritage of two members of the group. By bringing together ancestral ōrero (Polynesian oratory art), traditional percussive instruments (to'ere, steel drum), South American and Caribbean influences (candombe, calypso), and futuristic electronic productions, QuinzeQuinze gives life to a singular and timeless narrative style.


Nevaneva, their first EP (2018) showcased ardent creativity, placing experimentation at the heart of their production work. These five studio devotees spend a lot of time building up their own sound bank, resulting in a music with rich textures and unique sounds, articulated around four nuanced voices. With this first project, these contemporary storytellers and gatekeepers of memory immerse the listener in the Polynesian legend of the creation of the world, which they reinterpret through evocative poetry.
