Oiapok is a collective of eight musicians created in Strasbourg in 2020. Despite its seemingly young age, the band shows genuine musical maturity, as it comprises a majority of the members of Camembert, the band founded by composer and bassist Pierre Wawrzyniak in 2004, whose name paid tribute to Gong and its inventive spirit.
Oiapok's music draws its inspiration from progressive rock, 1970s funk, film music and Afro-Cuban rhythms. The group breaks with convention through its atypical instrumentation (harp, xylophone, vibraphone, horns, bass, drums, guitar, vocals) and its multiple influences.
