The acclaimed musical duo Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul are back with a brand new record. Mainland Mandinina, due out February 5 via DEEWEE / Because Music, is the pair's first record in almost five years, following 2022's celebrated debut Topical Dancer.
Check out the first single, "From Healer to Dealer," and its Lennert Madou-directed video below:
According to a press release, the new track "is a hilarious and ridiculous dialogue between 'Grace' and 'Ruben,' two wellness-obsessed maniacs who Adigéry and Pupul use to explore the complex and often confused vernacular of health culture."
The album is named for Adigéry's and Pupul's places of origin – mainland China and Hong Kong for Pupul's family, and Martinique (whose indigenous name is Madinina) where Adigéry's mother hails from – and reflects heavily on family, belonging, and history.
The duo are also heading out on tour across Europe and North America in support of the new LP. Check all those dates below:
