Funambule Café is a collective of musicians from diverse backgrounds who have gathered around the poetic and musical universe of Estrie singer-songwriter Donald Poisson for over twenty-five years. Their fourth collaborative album, 'Un aller simple pour la lune,' is the latest fruit of this enduring partnership.
The group explores themes of life, love, introspection, and mortality, using their live performances to take audiences on a cosmic journey — a 360-degree perspective on the key stages that shape a personal path. Their sound draws broadly on French chanson, folk, rock, and jazz, woven together with the author's creative poetry.
As described by journalist Richard Lefebvre (L'Étincelle, 2025), the group of 'old friends' transcends their material by inhabiting every note and lyric of their own creation.
