For those who don't already know, Tako Toki is self-sufficiency taken to an almost obsessive extreme: not content with composing the music for their repertoire, the trio also makes all of their instruments (incidentally, from the waste of our wonderful consumerist civilization), records themselves, makes their own costumes, takes their own photos...
And what's new since "Hirsutes Farfelus," their first album, acclaimed by the masses and praised in the press both in France and internationally? A stable and tight-knit team, like the French national rugby team in their prime (Gerin/de la Sayette/Brémaud in the front row). Considerable progress in survivalist instrument making: their contraption produces increasingly refined sounds. A brand-new repertoire that plays with genre music; you may or may not recognize Balkan dances, a twisted samba, chamber Afrobeat, and other distinctly Asian influences.
"The band’s “survival luthiery” is as impressive as their musicianship, refining acoustic treasure from, as per the proverb, ‘another man’s trash’. " 8/10 album of the week - Songlines
"Full of fun and one of a kind, Un Dimanche á Monaco celebrates our universal love of rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic sounds and the varied, wonderful ways cultures have organized that love in what we call music. At the same time, playing on literal pieces of junk, Tako Tiko reminds us, as we contemplate many mall music shops filled with gleaming wood and brass instruments and countless unused guitars lying in closets, that musicians will always find a way to make music" - Rootsworld
"Avec leurs instruments et costumes fabriqués maison, Tako Toki cultivent un esprit DIY réjouissant. Un voyage sonore singulier entre Balkans, grooves afro-latins et influences asiatiques". - Alternative Radio

Tako Toki is a Paris based trio who plays original music with DIY instruments made from waste ! Tako Toki est un trio foutraque qui joue une musique sublime avec des instruments construits par leurs soins à partir de déchets.
"Entre techno indus et samba de carnaval, transe pygmée et bal dans la pampa argentine, leur symphonie acoustique nous fait voyager" - TT - Anne Berthod - Télérama
"voilà comment le bricolage se transforme en art" Nathalie Piolée - France Musique
"Both Aurèle Gerin and Nicolas Brémaud are exceptional percussionists, while Etienne's mastery of wood (plastic) wind instruments means that over the 14 tracks, there is meditative beauty as well as moments of great fun. Sohisticated yet playful, this is no mere novelty." **** Songlines Magazine
"sortie digne de mention" "a playful commingling of West African grooves, Korean folk melodies, and minimalist electronics, eprformed entirely on homemade instruments" - Bandcamp
"proponiéndonos músicas a veces intrigantes, otras divertidas y siempre atrayentes" Radio 5 RTV (Spain)
"une musique très pure, toujours portée par de superbes mélodies" - Le Grigri
"...músicas a veces intrigantes, otras divertidas y siempre atrayentes". Mundofonias
"Using only 100% homemade instruments, these virtuosos have created an album of playful, meditative and thrilling compositions that evoke the spirits of Steve Reich-ian minimalism, gamelan, world jazz, and traditional West African and Korean music amidst its original beauty". Radio Alhara
"...Avec cet album, Tako Toki prouve que l’on peut faire rimer bricolage avec élégance, et décroissance avec inspiration. Un projet audacieux qui, sous ses airs de fantaisie, porte une vision forte et profondément actuelle. À découvrir sans tarder...." Solénopole
"...allways polychromatic and passionate..." DJ Nova Dorakis !
"..."fantastic""genius musicians" "music is incredible" - Justin Turford - Totally Wired Radio
"...This taps into something we urgently need: collectivity, collaboration, participation, multi-cultural celebration, and an unplugged anti-consumerist aesthetic that welcomes joining in..." Martha Willette Lewis - Rootsworld
