Charis Gala "Cocktails at the Carriage House" featuring duo:
Les Tappan Zigues
Les Tappan Zigues (“zigues” is French slang for “guys”) are Mikel Berrier on guitar, harmonica and vocals and Vicente Saavedra on upright bass. Mikel is a native Parisian, Vicente hails from Maracaibo, Venezuela. Together they create a sound that is energetic, romantic, and uplifting. They play original songs and cover many classics from the French songbook—George Brassens, Jaques Brel, Yves Montand and Serge Gainsbourg, among others. Their music includes rhythms such as gypsy, waltz, reggae, bossa nova and Latin fusions. Their favorite compliment is, “your music made me travel… for a minute I thought I was in France.”
You can reach them by writing to lestappanzigues@gmail.com. Visit their Facebook or SoundCloud page for pictures and songs.
