From then on, the electronic duo composed of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel, born in the mid-1990s, had a more or less intermittent existence, with the two musicians dedicating themselves to individual projects until they decided to step away from the stage for a while. Now, celebrating 25 years of “Moon Safari†, the album that established them as a strong name in the French touch movement, alongside names like Daft Punk, Cassius or Étienne de Crécy, Godin and Dunckel take The songs that made them known are on the road, landing in Portugal next Tuesday for a concert as part of the Ageas CoolJazz festival, in Cascais. From Paris, Godin explained to Expresso that his relationship with the ‘Sexy Boy’ and ‘Kelly Watch the Stars’ album went through less peaceful phases than the fact that now Playing it in its entirety made her fall in love with him again. “It’s as if I were living my youth a second time,†he admits, between laughs, “every night I play the songs from ‘Moon Safari’, I see the poster and the merchandising of ‘Moon Safari’ and I give interviews about ‘Moon Safari’, so I feel like nothing else has happened in these 25 years†.
