shakti paqué mon mari et moi

Shakti and Mathias Paqué are MON MARI ET MOI and play "songs for everyday use"! Which pigeonhole could fit? They're not silly enough for musical cabaret, but there's definitely too much laughter at their concerts for the singer-songwriter genre.

Perhaps the very latest German wave without electronics? Either way, the likelihood of feeling better after a MON MARI ET MOI concert than before is very high. Shakti (vocals, sometimes also pianica and autoharp) & Mathias (guitar, vocals and other gimmicks) play songs that offer a little escape from everyday life. Unconventional songs, sometimes a bit Dada, held together by whimsical stories. Stories of the right pink, good mood spreaders, girls with provincial earrings, the highlight of the week, chocolate ice cream or dance floor edge sitters. If you're in the mood for a nice evening, a MON MARI ET MOI concert is a great place to be. Last year, they were on the best song list for four months! By the way: because they live near the French border, have a French surname and "MON MARI ET MOI" definitely sounds better than "my husband and I", Shakti's grandmother came up with this name.

That's not possible at the moment because they perform somewhere in Germany every week.
