La Rue Kétanou

Its name is a deformation of La rue qui est à nous, which means The street that's ours.

The group is composed of musicians Mourad Musset, Olivier Leite, and Florent Vintrigner, all from the Théâtre du fil in Paris.

The group's motto was "C'est pas nous qui sommes à la rue, c'est la rue qui est à nous ('Ketanou')", meaning literally: "We don't belong to the street; it's the street that belongs to us."

After some time touring France, the group completed a second album, Y'a des cigales dans la fourmilière (There are cicadas in the ant-hill), in 2002.

Mourad and Olivier also formed a new band with several other musicians and friends, Mon côté punk.
