Award-winning Indie Folk Français band
Celebrating their 15-year anniversary this fall, Albuquerque's award-winning Indie Folk Français band, Bébé La La, comes to Paradiso in Santa Fe for the first time, bringing with them their engaging original songs and signature stunning harmonies.
Featuring singer-songwriter, guitarist and violist Alicia Ultan and singer-songwriter, accordionist Maryse Lapierre, plus Micky Patten on bass and Joe Chellman on drums, Bébé La La began as a duo in 2010 when Alicia and Maryse, who hails from Quebec, Canada, found a great musical compatibility between their respective French influences and original folk inspired "art” songs. Over the years, the two have developed an eclectic and lovely repertoire, and their warm,joyful rapport with audiences keep them coming back time and again!
Bébé La La has performed at countless events and venues over, including the International Balloon Fiesta, the Albuquerque Folk Festival, Nob Hill Summerfest, several AMP Concerts series, Placitas and Moveable Parts House Concert series, Albuquerque Sunport Serenades, and many more. They earned three New Mexico Music Award nominations and two awards for their 2015 debut release, High Wire, which was described by music and art writer James Mahoney as "Wild—Alternative—Magic!,” and seven nominations and two awards for their 2022 sophomore CD, A Curious Series of Unexpected Events. With an overarching theme of “time” and the unexpectedness of life threading the eclectic collection of songs together, poet T.A. Niles writes, "From where I sit, A Curious Series of Unexpected Events is an album for our times, of times past, and it seeks to will us into a more magical future.” Come celebrate the “magic" that is Bébé La La!
