Renaud | Boucan d'Enfer

"Boucan d’Enfer" is a group of five professional musicians, all from the Paris region, brought together by their shared passion for the artist Renaud. Every night, they pay tribute to his voice and his repertoire by reinterpreting his songs with boundless energy. The name of the group, "Boucan d’Enfer," refers to one of Renaud’s iconic albums, but it also symbolizes the festive spirit and energy that their music exudes. It’s a true musical whirlwind that blends rock, accordion, and a flashback to the 70s while still remaining contemporary.

Led by Denis, the band’s singer and guitarist, who has been a fan of Renaud since childhood, "Boucan d’Enfer" offers a unique performance where the audience is invited to sing along at the top of their lungs. The band presents a varied repertoire, ranging from Renaud’s classic hits to more recent tracks, rearranged with a pop-rock twist that revives the free-spirited and provocative nature of the singer.

The group also consists of Franck Laglenne on guitar and backing vocals, Ivan Massé on drums, Laurent Morel on bass and backing vocals, and Gilles Villeroy on accordion and piano. Together, these talented musicians energetically revisit Renaud’s songs, paying homage to him in a way that is both faithful and vibrant.

With "Boucan d’Enfer," it’s a full immersion into the world of the "chanteur énervant" (the annoying singer), an affectionate nickname for Renaud due to his rebellious side and politically charged songs. The group manages to capture this essence with infectious enthusiasm, turning each concert into a festive moment where memories of past decades intertwine with the present. The audience reconnects with the passion, irony, and tenderness that are characteristic of Renaud’s lyrics, all reinterpreted with a modern touch that never betrays the original spirit.

In short, "Boucan d’Enfer" is not just a tribute to Renaud, it’s a lively celebration of his music, performed by passionate musicians who share a common admiration for this legend of French chanson with their audience.
