Artist Profile
IPPUKUIPPUKU is a creative unit that blends music and animation to express the balance between romance and everyday life.
Their sound draws from funk, R&B, and alternative styles, capturing the feeling of holding both dreams and the realities of daily living.
The duo takes inspiration from the Sapeur culture of the Republic of Congo, a way of life that celebrates elegance, dignity, and beauty in the midst of everyday reality.
Like the Sapeurs, they do not escape from reality; instead, they find and amplify its hidden aesthetics through music and visuals.
From the hum of the city to the stillness of the night, they craft melodies and grooves that uncover the beauty in ordinary moments, quietly stirring the listener's emotions and memories.
IPPUKU means "a short break".
They invite you to pause amid the rush of life, to savor the small luxuries and open spaces that music can offer, moments that may become the romance you carry into your next step.
