Albuquerque's multi-award-winning Indie Folk Français duo, Bébé La La, featuring singer-songwriter, guitarist and violist Alicia Ultan and singer-songwriter-accordionist Maryse Lapierre, celebrates 15 years of performing and recording together with this special commemorative concert featuring their band members, Micky Patten on bass and guitar and Joe Chellman on drums, plus special musical guests, including Alicia’s twin sister, Jacqueline (an in-demand cellist in Mpls, MN); guitarist Claudio Tolousse; and more. Formed in 2010, the duo found a great compatibility between Lapierre’s French influences and Ultan's original folk inspired "art" songs, and over the years, they have developed an engaging repertoire that highlights their signature "stunning" harmonies, richly textured songs and thoughtful lyrics. Over the years, Bébé La La has performed at the International Balloon Fiesta, Albuquerque Folk Festival, Nob Hill Summerfest, several AMP Concerts events, the Placitas and Moveable Parts House Concert series, Outpost and more. They earned two New Mexico Music Awards for their 2015 debut release, High Wire – which was described by music and art writer James Mahoney as: "Wild—Alternative—Magic!," and they received seven nominations and two awards for their 2022 release, A Curious Series of Unexpected Events, of which poet T.A. Niles wrote, "From where I sit, A Curious Series of Unexpected Events is an album for our times, of times past, and it seeks to will us into a more magical future" . Come celebrate the magic that is Bébé La La and their special 15-year collaboration!
