Editor's note

Babylon Circus, Lyon's reggae-rock collective with a conscience

A French band that mixes upbeat rhythms with pointed social commentary.

If you want to get their vibe, start with "J'aurais Bien Voulu" or "Au Marché Des Illusions." They show how the band can be both danceable and thoughtful.

They're one of those groups that makes you move while making you think. Songs like "J'aurais Bien Voulu" and "Casse La Fatigue" have that infectious energy, but they're not afraid to get political either. Their track "International" actually faced radio restrictions in France back in 2006 for criticizing government policy.

They formed in Lyon around 2002 as a musical collective, building a following through energetic live shows in smaller venues. From their 2003 self-titled debut through albums like "La Machine À Mixer" in 2006 and "Atomics" in 2013, they've maintained that blend of reggae, rock, and world rhythms. The lineup includes musicians like David Nesta on vocals and Olivier "Oly" Appéré on trumpet.
