about
“Bombes 2 Bal” are a group singing in both French and the Occitan language. The B2b’s, as they are locally known, are made up from four girls and two guys from Toulouse who use local instruments from the south west but also take influence from the music of the north-east of Brazil. The "Bombes2bal” in its first incarnation was born out of the friendship of Lise Arbiol and Aurélie Neuville and under the guidance of Claude Sicre (former fabulous band member). Today, the B2b’s has grown to six members with a couple of dancers whose function includes making people participate in the traditional dancing. Currently the line-up consists of Magali Brunel who sings and plays the agogos bell, Martine Lataste on accordion, and harmonica, Romain Magnes on various percussion instruments and the recent addition of Jérémy Couraut on bass and violin). An interesting feature of the B2b’s is that each member of the group has the opportunity to sing and play any of the instruments adding to the richness of the group.
