Catherine Ribeiro + Alpes

The two used to be in the band Catherine Ribeiro + 2Bis but decided to change the name after their first record. While their style was mostly folk and psychedelic rock in their first years, they also included elements of avant-garde in their music. Catherine Ribeiro, known for her chaotic and expressive singing style, often penned their lyrics that addressed political and social issues. They disbanded in 1981.
