KARPOUZI MON AMOUR (HALLE NIGHT LONG)

Karpouzi Mon Amour are four musicians from Toulouse who play surf rock with Greek melodies. Formed in 2020, the band draws its repertoire from 1960s Greek rock — led by Aris San — blended with the raw energy of Dick Dale and the Mediterranean sound of Boom Pam. Guitar-led, with a driving rhythm section and vocals in Greek: something between the Aegean Sea and California, with no compromises. Most of the tracks are instrumental; the melodies speak for themselves. On stage, the band plays a well-rehearsed set, with a powerful live energy. It’s a bit like Tarantino spending an evening at Kusturica’s: sharp riffs, danceable rhythms, influences ranging from the Middle East to the Pacific coast.
