According to veteran producer and documentary filmmaker Martin Messonnier, Tété is “one of the few young chansonniers doing something really new.” Influenced by the Delta Blues, Lenny Kravitz, The Beatles and Bob Dylan, this African-born, French-raised alternative singer-songwriter started out playing his guitar in bars and cafés. Now regarded as one of France’s best songwriters, he has sold over half a million records and sold out The Olympia in Paris five times in one year.
Described as ‘terribly human’, his music blends the pop, folk and blues influences that shaped his early musical life. With irony, Tété describes himself as a “troubadour and manufacturer of pop-folk-bluesy songs with intellectual pretensions.” It’s no wonder Tété has been called France’s Jeff Buckley. His real identity is in the music he makes and according to Tété, “it’s got to have soul”.

Tété will be supported by Ange Takats, National Folk Festival winner of the 2008 Lis Johnston Award for vocal excellence. Ange's voice has been described as Joan Baez meets Gillian Welch. Her debut album Aniseed Tea tells stories of knitting, longing and lovely Irishmen
