CAF?

Based between Vevey and Lausanne, CAF? is an active label that has been carving out its path in electronic music for the past 5 years. With 11 releases to its name, the label can pride itself on being the architect of a constellation of musical projects that capture the zeitgeist of electronic music creation as well as representing a certain form of avant-garde. From his first IR90 cassette to his latest EP, the common denominator for CAF? has been electronic night and dance music. Nevertheless, it has allowed itself to explore other musical genres in keeping with the versatility and spirit of curiosity that drives it. It's an approach to techno, house, breakbeat, ambient, synth-pop and even Italo-disco that finds its unity in proposals that are both ironic and iconoclastic, fun and singular. Where electronic music tends to be formatted, the CAF? collective takes the opposite approach, brilliantly embracing music's great divide. For the Festival de la Cité, it's setting up camp in the Jardin du Petit Théâtre for a multi-faceted programme designed as an invitation to the artists who have contributed to the various musical releases, as well as members and friends of the label.

On Thursday evening, the collective will be hosting a special evening as part of its release of latincore: latincore is a shared desire for retrospection in the form of a vinyl compilation produced by the CAF? label. This sound project brings together 14 productions and traces the contours of the hybrid and emerging music scenes of Latin America and the Caribbean and their diasporas.
