Watcha Clan

Right from the start, in 1999, Watcha Clan has been striving to transcend easy divisions and classifications. Born into the broad movement of French alternative rock, the band from Marseilles (Bouches-du-Rhône) first asserted their taste for reggae and dub, before quickly moving on to African, Arab and Oriental music, before integrating gypsy and klezmer music from Diaspora Hi-Fi (2008) onwards. This broad panorama of world music is amplified by the obvious charisma of singer Sista Ka and by a genuinely positive, unadorned message. Radio Babel in 2011 perseveres with a sound that has become universal by dint of its beautiful crossbreeding.
