TAGO MAGO is a new psychedelic jazz / krautrock duo from Rennes and the band is supported by the TRANSMUSICALES since 2022.
The duo is composed by : Joris on keyboards and Léo on the drums, two renowned musicians of the Rennes scene (Initials Bouvier Bernois, The Madcaps...) TAGO MAGO is animated by a wild will to experiment and to create a new free music !
With a name borrowed from the most famous album of CAN, the great German krautrock band, how could it be otherwise?
With a background of 70’s rock & progressive jazz (close to the Soft Machine UK school), the music of TAGO MAGO freely distills flamboyant cavalcades, psychedelic odysseys, unstoppable grooves blending with a very particular approach to the electronic trance like Zombie Zombie or The Comet is coming
In live, the complicity and the complementarity of the duo is obvious, almost striking : on one side the epic patterns of the drums which squares the perimeter, on the other side the keyboards which open great spaces : the TAGO MAGO machine works at full speed, like an impetuous mechanic that nothing can stop !
TAGO MAGO has released his 1st album “Traversée Sauvage” which means “Wild Travelling” on march 2023 with L’Autre Distribution & Boogie Drugstore.
