Isabelle Antena

Electro-samba pioneer turned jazz-pop polymath, Isabelle Antena has quietly sold more than a million albums. From Camino Del Sol (1982) to Toujours Du Soleil (2006), her cool latin, bossa, jazz and funk vibes have delighted ears and feet worldwide.

Originally Antena were a trio. In 1981 Pascale Moiroud and Sylvain Fasy left their hometowns of Valence and Clermont in the south of France and headed for Paris, fabled City of Light. Here they met sassy native Isabelle Powaga, and discovered a shared passion for the analog mekanics of Kraftwerk, the latin sounds of Jobim and Gilberto, and an eye for a strong BCBG image. Thus was born Antena.
