Culte

Culte is a funk band of nine musicians based in Paris. It describes its music as a meeting of heritage and modernity: festive, demanding and accessible. The band began as an instrumental group built on improvisation, then took on a new dimension with the arrival of its frontwoman, Gladys Curls, whose powerful, soulful voice now carries the songs. It has played more than a hundred concerts and released two EPs.

Orchestral funk

The line-up is large and dense: two guitars (one of them a baritone), synths moving between jazz, electro and funk, and a brass section of two tenor saxophones and a trumpet. The band names James Brown, Parliament’s P-Funk, Minneapolis funk, Cameo, Lettuce and Ghost-Note among its references, and presents its approach as a contemporary, generous take on funk, built on orchestral density and live energy.

For sync and licensing

A large band with a full groove section, brass power and a soul lead voice suits lively, warm, high-energy pictures: celebrations, city scenes, sport, food, lifestyle or comedy. The instrumental, improvisational side also leaves room under dialogue or voice-over. This is an editorial reading of the music, not a statement about any placement.
