Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul open a new chapter. Following the internationally acclaimed Topical Dancer, the Belgian duo returns with Mainland Madinina, an album that took shape between Belgium and Martinique and was again co-produced by Soulwax.

Their quirky mix of electro-pop, house, synth-pop and post-punk saw Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul become one of Belgium’s most striking acts over recent years. Their sharp humour and socially critical perspective earned them praise from the likes of Pitchfork, The Guardian and BBC 6 Music. They also conquered international stages, from Glastonbury and Sónar to Pitchfork Festival Chicago and Later... with Jools Holland.

On Mainland Madinina, they broaden their horizons once again. Themes like grief, parenthood, migration and colonial legacies form the common thread through an album that sounds both personal and adventurous. Adigéry gives us her strongest vocal performance to date. Her emotional openness goes hand in hand with the playful, provocative energy that makes the duo so appealing.

Those who have seen Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul perform live know that their concerts are much more than just a gig. They are an exuberant celebration in which urgency, humour, danceability and unexpected twists converge. In February 2027, they will embark on an international tour to present Mainland Madinina live.
