Hocus Pocus

Now here’s something you won’t hear unless you’re like me and search high and low for good music. HOCUS POCUS is a french hiphop group with a jazzy sound that just can’t go wrong. Fusing the traditional elements of hip hop with those of a jazz band they bring to the plate a refreshing sound that has been turning heads from the continent to Japan and back. The MC and producer, 20Syl, and the DJ, Greem, represent the hip hop elements while the musicians bring the live element with a variety of instruments including drums, Rhodes, horns, bass. Their first album “73 Touches” was on steady rotation for months when I first got it a few years back and they’re releasing a long awaited come back “16 PIECES” next week. I may not understand French…but language lessons are not necessary to appreciate good music…PERIOD.
