They also draw their inspiration from the diversity of their African, South American and French roots, from their travels and from their encounters.

CLAAP! seduces every audience it performs for, from clubs such as Petit Palace in Paris to festivals such as Calvi On The Rocks in Corsica or Decks On The Beach in Beirut, through underground parties in New York and concert venues in Los Angeles.
