Kacimi

Biography

After working with a number of bands over the last twenty years, playing with a variety of recordings, groups and concerts (The Rebels of Tijuana, Le Roi Angus...), KACIMI released his first solo album "Cookies & Motoriders" in 2015, followed by "Gyrophare" in 2020 and "Couronne d'Ephémères" in 2023. Three critically acclaimed albums (Rock & Folk, Rolling Stone, Les Inrockuptibles, Shindig, RTS, FIP, France Inter...). These albums are interspersed with various singles ("Décroche", "Il fait si chaud ce soir", "Les Rois"...) and numerous collaborations since 2020 (Lionel Limiñana, Alexis Fugain, Blot, L'Eclair, Romano Bianchi...). KACIMI's music plunges us, in a contemporary and modern interpretation, into the heart of French sixties pop, at once cinematic, yéyé, beat and poetic, where psychedelic rhythm n'blues and garage rock n'roll mingle with love ballads suspended in time.

In recent years, KACIMI has written music for various series, adverts and events (Emily in Paris, You're The Worst, Orangina, Festival de Cannes...). He runs the Pop Club Records label, with which he has released nearly 80 titles (Le Superhomard, Nick Wheeldon, Fugu, etc.). ) and in recent years has specialised in French film music, with vinyl reissues of "Coup de Tête", "Les Tontons Flingueurs", "Un Singe en Hiver" and "Le Magnifique".
