Rabasta is a unique instrumental quartet that reimagines hip hop through collective, fragmented compositions. While their music is infused with hip hop culture, it stands out for its lack of vocals and an unsteady yet captivating rhythm, diverging from traditional rap. The four musicians are known for their improvisation and exploration of uncharted sonic landscapes. The members include Immanuel de Souza on guitar, Laurent Estoppey on saxophone and effects, David Meier on drums, and Benoit Moreau on organ and electronics.
Pop energy, raw intensity, a touch of animality, and playful shifts in force. With live music and dancers moving around the audience, the beat spreads—visceral and physical. La Tendresse du ventre de la baleine explores the tension between individuality and collectivity, between identity, intimate desires, and the need to belong.
