With previous influences of swing, folk and barbershop, interwoven with Africaninspired grooves and American folk pop, Belcirque’s latest album La Grande F te takes on a new adventure and heads south!

Travelling across deserts and dry lands, and sailing stormy oceans, it finally swims ashore upon the golden sands of South America. Now wearing a sunny Latin-American jacket as barbershop and swing meet calypso, cumbia and rumba!

Swing-jazz, barbershop, American folk pop and African-inspired grooves meet calypso, cumbia and rumba!

A vaudeville-inspired assortment of vocal harmonies, horns, guitars, bass and percussion with a warm South American breeze throughout. Belcirque’s imaginative musical storytelling is just one part of their unique cabaret-like persona. With circus act backgrounds and a street performance style of playing, wearing a 2.5-metre-wide tail of peacock feathers is nothing out of the ordinary for them.

Their latest album La Grande F te, that highlights the beauty of humanity and life itself, heads to South America, where barbershop and swing meet calypso, cumbia and rumba!
