Biography

There are at least two artists known to perform under this name: A French new-wave/pop project, and a UK trip-hop collective.

1. Mensch, often stylised MENSCH, is a French duo comprising Vale Poher and Carine Di Vita (aka Marilou).
Vale Poher has a long history of collaborating with a variety of musicians. She first collaborated with Carine Di Vita in 2008, under the moniker The Vale Poher Group. Carine played bass for the group.

2 years into working together in The Vale Poher Group, the two began a new project, MENSCH, which sound-wise falls somewhere between LCD Soundsystem and Blondie. Combining keyboards, beatboxing, aerial vocals from both members and catchy melodies, they blend elements of krautrock, afrobeat, pop, and new wave music.
