EmChill brings you explosive French rock duo Vialka, for two live performances in Beirut.

VIALKA are:
Eric Boros: baritone guitar & voice
Marylise Frecheville: percussion & voice

Hailing from deep France, via everywhere and nowhere, VIALKA are a devilishly high-spirited nomadic duo, whose frontier-touring has taken them to all corners of the globe on a seemingly permanent world tour, since their formation in 2002. It is no wonder, then, that their peregrinations have finally brought them to Lebanon.

Deriving their influences from traditional and modern underground music from around the globe, in a style reminiscent of A Hawk & A Hacksaw and The Ex, Marylise and Eric create music that skips joyfully across borders, channeling desert blues, Chinese folk songs, punk rock and European gypsy song dynamics. A whirlwind dervish energy, that combines endless gypsy punk folk rock tales, hard hitting poly-rhythms, yelps and howls into one feverishly danceable and intoxicating brew.
