Pad Brapad

Pad Brapad is a dynamic musical ensemble formed by six musicians in Paris in 2004. The group brings together diverse musical backgrounds, including jazz, electronic, classical, and indie rock. They are particularly known for their interpretation of Balkan folklore, having performed extensively across Europe and participating in notable World Music festivals.

Adrien Chevalier, a founder of Pad Brapad, played a significant role in shaping the group's musical direction. Chevalier's musical journey began in Provence, where he studied at the Avignon Classical Conservatory before developing a passion for Gypsy jazz and Eastern European music in Paris. The band has released several albums, including "Strikes Again!" and "SatuMare - Bristol," and has been active in both the music and film industries, notably composing for projects like "Kroak et autres histoires".
