Karpatt is a French musical group with a vibrant sound combining elements of chanson française, gypsy jazz, and folk influences. Formed in the late 1990s in Paris, the band consists of singer-songwriter Fred Rollat, guitarist and vocalist Hervé Jegousso, and contrebassist Gaëtan Lerat, with each member contributing to the unique, eclectic style that defines Karpatt's music.

The band's catalog showcases a commitment to storytelling, featuring poetic lyrics and melodies that range from the whimsically light to the emotionally charged. Albums like "Angora" and "Valparaiso" exhibit Karpatt's ability to paint vivid musical landscapes, capturing the spirit of global wanderlust and the romance of everyday life. Their songs are often characterized by smooth guitar lines, upright bass rhythms, and Rollat's distinctive, warm voice—a combination that has earned them a loyal following in the world music scene. Live performances, such as "À droite à gauche (Live)", emphasize Karpatt's engaging stage presence and the close relationship forged with their audience through years of touring. With "Montreuil," they pay tribute to their roots, reflecting the diverse and dynamic atmosphere of their home ground, which continues to inspire their work.
