Deep Forest
About the event
The story of Deep Forest began in the early 90s in Northern France with the intention of combining ethnic music with their own electronic and jazz sounds. Their debut album, which bore the band's name, featured the hit ‘Sweet Lullaby’ and made them world-famous overnight. With this album and subsequent releases, they sold a total of 10 million albums. They will be at Kunst en Cultuurhuis Cinetol. Various collaborations and Grammy nominations
The band was nominated for a Grammy in the Best World Music Album category and later won this award with the album ‘Boheme’. Collaborations with artists including Peter Gabriel, Herbie Hancock and Aluna Wade, plus compositions for various films and remixes for artists such as Youssou N’Dour, demonstrate their constant productivity.
In 2005, Michel Sanchez left the group to start a solo career, after which Eric Mouquet continued under the name Deep Forest and released albums including Deep Africa and Deep India, among many other productions.
The live set of Deep Forest today is versatile: they switch effortlessly between uptempo electronic music and jazz that the audience can dance to, and more ambient and relaxing passages, while always maintaining their signature Deep Forest sound. 2024 marks the 30th anniversary of the Grammy Award for Best World Music Album, and 2025 the 30th anniversary of winning this prestigious prize.
