CHÉRI CHÉRI & RBSN Live at Schokoladen Berlin

CHÉRI CHÉRI & RBSN live at Schokoladen! RBSN blends elements of soul, folk, and psychedelic rock. Drawing on his Mediterranean heritage and jazz studies, his sound combines timeless elements with experimental textures, creating a dreamlike and emotional musical landscape. He collaborated with entities such as Tight Lines, Sofar London and Tate Modern. These experiences allowed him to create a sound strongly influenced by new UK jazz as well as the contaminated electronic music of London and Leeds clubs. In 2020, he released his first EP then performed live at festivals such as Spring Attitude and Ypsigrock, Propaganda Live, and Gilles Peterson's Ricci Weekender. He has performed several times in Europe, between London and Berlin, and began a collaboration (live and studio) with Australian singer James Chatburn, who has also collaborated with Jordan Rakei, among others. Rbsn eventually managed to involve artists from various parts of Europe such as Naima Adams and Nadeem Din-Gabisi of Touching Bass. In 2022, he released the album Stranger Days via Ropeadope (US). In the same year, he founded Odd.Clique with Federico Zanghi, Vasco Alessandrelli and Giulio Pecci. In 2024 he collaborated with Marco Castello on the track Muro and with Emanuele Triglia on Babanero (feat. Naima Adams). On September 2025 he released This Life, the first single anticipating the new album HERE. RBSN’s performances range from solo shows to a full seven-piece ensemble, shaping the project as a bridge between the Italian and the international psych-soul scenes. CHÉRI CHÉRI s story began with a School of Rock-inspired audition poster put up by frontwoman Celia Marie on a lamppost near Notre Dame in Paris. Four musicians answered the call, and after countless nights of songwriting and rehearsals, Chéri Chéri recorded their debut EP, Don't You Think It's Funny, with legendary producer Gordon Raphael (The Strokes) in Leeds. Followed by a EU-Tour with sold out shows in cities like Freiburg and Lyon, the band is looking forward to Festival-season playing Festivals like Haldern Pop (DE), Retro CTrop (FR) or Boire la tasse (FR). Inspired by the spirit of Led Zeppelin and the punk poetry of Patti Smith, they deliver that unmistakable je ne sais quoi that we could only wish for from a French-American band. A wild, vintage punch straight from the Paris rock scene! After the concert: DJ Anita Drink (glam, punk, disco, wave)
