ALEX PAQUETTE & ORQUESTA PSICOTRÓPIKA

ALEX PAQUETTE

Nordic Reggae-ska is a bit like the name suggests, an improbable meeting between here and elsewhere, a mix between the conifers of the north and the rhythms of the south, between local language and messages universal. The influences of Manu Chao, les Colocs and Jean Leloup are felt with his festive and committed music. The show from his first album released in 2019 has been presented more than 70 times in Quebec and Europe. Verdun’s second solo album Reggae was released in February 2022 and already more than 100 concerts have taken place including two European tours, two tours in Chile and concerts throughout Quebec and Canada.

ORQUESTA PSICOTRÓPIKA

Orquesta Psicotrópika is a Chilean music group from the colorful neighborhoods of Valparaiso. The group has existed for 9 years and they have over 200 concerts to their credit. The band wanders musically between orchestrated ska, cumbia, rock, reggae with touches of circus and trance which captivate the senses providing an instant desire to want to dance.
