Louis, Matthieu, Joseph & Anna Chedid: F.O.R.T.

A new track has been made available by Louis, Matthieu, Joseph & Anna Chedid , the family
featuring Louis Cheded and three of his children.

 The new single F.O.R.T comes as they completed a series of live dates over the summer with a set at the Fête de l'Humanité last weekend.

It comes ahead of a studio album due to be released next month, the four having been working together since the end of last year.

What's certain is that working together has seen all four artists reach new audiences and be met with a warm reaction from crowds around France. The album should cement their place as France's favourite musical family.

Their album is due out on October 23.
