About us

 

Both singers and musicians, Pascale and Guy have met each other through their art and have developped a solid musical bond and friendship marked by many surpising coïncidences that have reinforced their connection.

 

Synchronicity has always been a big part of this adventure.  One day, they found out they were bothwriting and offering personnalized songs to their loved ones on their birthdays or other special events, and that they were both really getting a big kick out of making them and watching people’s reaction.  Putting two two together they decided to put their musical talents and their pleasure  in songwriting to the use of other people so that everybody could offer personalized songs to their loved ones. And so Folifola was born.

 

Why the name Folifola ? It is joyful, playful, a bit excentric and it means musician in the Bambara Language, spoken in Mali.  And it souded just right to discribe the crazy adventure in which they are going in full voices !
