Ak'chamel, The Giver of Illness est un duo de folk énigmatique originaire du Texas aux États-Unis. Se produisant avec des costumes et des masques faits de mousse, feuille et autre végétations, ils font sensation à chacun de leur passage.

Ils se définissent comme "Fourth World Post-Colonial Cultural Cannibalists" et laisse notre imagination faire le reste. 2 albums vinyles sont sortis sur Akuphone, "The Totemist" (2020) et "A Mournful Kingdom Of Sand" (2022). En concert pour la première fois en France.

... An Ak’chamel set is something you can’t prepare for, you just dive in and see where the sounds of the experimental/noise act take you. Also, as we learned by chatting with the band after its set (they’re super nice, despite the daunting costumes they perform in), most Ak’chamel gigs don’t feature a lot of the band’s pre-recorded music. Ergo, no title for the show-closer which mesmerized us at a recent Big Top show. The low hum of the tune caused an ASMR reaction for this listener, who dopily enjoyed the scalp-tingling pyrotechnics Ak’chamel set off. (Houston press)
