Fancy Ghetto

Subversive beats, bodies in trance, words that snap. Welcome to Fancy Ghetto. An urban western where the streets of a bustling city are traversed by beings in search of love, Alexandre Désilets' new album invites us elsewhere. With its catchy pop and festive tempo, music that comes from the gut to resonate with souls, Fancy Ghetto is the singer-songwriter's third work, following Escalader l'ivresse (2008) and La Garde (2010).
