Domenique Dumont

In the organizer's words:

Domenique Dumont is a pseudonym for the collaboration between multi-instrumentalist and producer Arturs Liepins, singer and ethnomusicologist Anete Stuce and perhaps an artist from France whose existence is neither confirmed nor denied. Hailing from a small country on the Baltic Sea in northern Europe, the band has caused a stir not only in their home country but also around the globe, especially in francophone countries. The music of Domenique Dumont is not easy to categorize, but as soon as the song begins, you get the feeling that it is something familiar, classic and solid in its direction. Built on a foundation of lilting sambas, bossa nova undertones and cinematic, experimental pop, the Latvian duo's project is a heartfelt modernization of airy dreaminess in a style all their own.

The band has released 3 albums since 2013. The latest - "People On Sunday" (2020) - is Domenique Dumont's third album. Freshly signed to The Leaf label and having previously released two albums on the Parisian electronic/dance label Antinote, it follows on from the cult success of the synth-pop exotica albums "Comme Ça" (2015) and "Miniatures de Auto Rhythm" (2018). "People On Sunday" was originally conceived as the soundtrack to the 1930 German silent film classic "Menschen am Sonntag". It was originally performed at Les Arcs Film Festival in December 2019.
The duo are currently finalizing their fourth studio album "Deux Paradis".
