Drawing on 1990s hip-hop — Wu-Tang Clan, IAM, NTM — the child-height rap of Angers trio Les Frères Casquette has been winning over children and adults alike since 2011. Sharp lyrics, geek culture, a celebration of diversity… Their new show, Générations, and new album (PNJ, 2026) tackle the stuff of everyday life while delighting in the offbeat and unexpected. Between slam and rap, in a flow punctuated by scratches and punchlines, Sam, Drum and Bob also introduce beatboxing and show how tracks were made twenty-five years ago. The pure LFC sound is genuine music to be enjoyed together as a family.

BIOGRAPHY
> LES FRÈRES CASQUETTE (FR)
Founded in Angers in 2011, the group is made up of David Lorphelin (Sam Casquette), William Beneteau (Drum Casquette), Nicolas Pailler (Cousin Bob) and Nicolas Bourgeois (Drum Casquette), creating work for audiences both young and old. With inventive lyrics tailored to younger listeners and addressing universal themes — childhood, family, generational difference — they champion a rap rooted in diversity while passing on their love of hip-hop urban culture. Their energetic live shows and unique take on hip-hop have earned them a reputation far beyond the label of “music for young audiences.” Across albums such as L’année scolaire (2012), Le Monde à l’envers (2014), La vie devant nous (2018), Demain c’est bien (EP, 2022), Nouvelle G (EP, 2024) and PNJ (2026), humour, rhythm, wordplay and the poetry of everyday life intertwine with references to hip-hop, rap and slam, resulting in concert-shows that are both sensitive and funny, and unlike anything else.
