With their unmistakable blend of retro charm and genre-defying style, they have carved out a distinctive place in the global music scene. Led by producer Marc Collin, the French ensemble reimagines iconic new wave and punk-era tracks with a breezy bossa nova twist, transforming them into something delicate, dreamy and entirely their own. Their sultry reinterpretations of songs by Joy Division, The Clash, Blondie, and Depeche Mode helped spark renewed interest in the genre’s legacy, offering a fresh emotional dimension to familiar anthems.
Their acclaimed 2009 album “3” featured guest appearances from the original artists themselves, including Martin Gore (Depeche Mode), Ian McCullough (Echo and the Bunnymen), the late Terry Hall (The Specials) and Barry Adamson (Magazine), a collaboration that one critic called “the most meta covers album released this decade.” From sold-out tours across the UK, Germany and Romania to performances in Turkey, Holland and beyond, Nouvelle Vague’s cinematic live shows captivate audiences with their nostalgic yet entirely contemporary sound.
Now, under the starry sky of Sani Hill, Nouvelle Vague bring their signature sound and vintage-meets-modern sophistication to the Sani Festival stage, inviting audiences to fall in love with the music all over again.
