Zaho de Sagazan is a band that formed around Eva Zaho and Philippe Sagazan. Their name comes from the village of Sagazan, which gives a hint about the earthy, somewhat mystical quality in their music. They released their first EP in 2010, which included the song "Les Dormantes."
That song, "Les Dormantes," became their most recognizable work. It's built around a story from local myths about women who were turned into trees, sleeping within the wood. The music has a haunting, folk-inflected melody that matches the imagery.
They put out a few more albums after that, like "Mélodies Sauvages" in 2013 and "Aveugles" in 2016. The band's lineup included Samuel Bérillon on bass and Nicolas Forge on drums alongside Zaho and Sagazan. Their sound stayed rooted in acoustic textures and nature themes, avoiding much commercial polish.
