Baïki

Baiki is a world group in every sense of the word. Originating from Brussels – Belgium, it is no wonder that their strong inclination towards multi-culture emerged.

Baiki is taken from the Polish word « bajki », which means « tales, stories ». Philippe actually has Polish roots, which explains the presence of this language in some of his lyrics. But the lingual voyage does not stop at Polish as he also produces texts in Spanish, in English or even… in French.

Can we therefore be described as a group of « chansons françaises » ? Yes, at times.

At other times, the musical accents will make you think more of rock, celtic folk, Central European and sometimes even pop. And this is this cultural diversity, which we are keen to put forward when on stage or on CD. A musical quest during which we take the audience by the hand to explore new avenues off the beaten track of formatted registers and genres, beyond the boundaries of labels, which tends to be the general approach when describing a musical project, almost to reassure ourselves…

We make and play music, and that’s it. We do not claim any particular style, nor French songs, world music or rock music. Maybe we sit at the crossing of these styles, consistently permeable to the widest possible influences.
