SIXUN

Sixun biography
The French band Sixun was founded in 1984.(Sixun comes from Six (Fr: six) and 'un' (one). This refers to the number of band members (six) from around the world that play together as a unit. The core of the band, Paco Sery (drums, percussion), Jean-Pierre Como (keyboards), Alain Debiossat (saxophone), Louis Winsberg (guitar) and Michel Alibo (Bass) remained unchanged over the years.
The group began his recording career with Nuit Blanche in 1985, followed in 1987 by Pygmies and Explore in 1988. The polyrhythmic work of the band is very important and significant influences of the multicultural musical origins of the band members in particular, African and Caribbean can be found. The band is often compared to Weather Report, the major influence of Sixun.
With about 20,000 CDs sold of each album, they are one of the more successful European fusion bands. Sixun disbanded in 1998 after the ninth album (Nouvelle Vague). Since 2005, the band is active again and celebrated in 2006 the twentieth birthday of the band with a concert in Paris, that was released as CD and DVD
