Alfafar is a band whose particular alchemy is based on the harmony between three brothers who compose, sing and play together.

In 2000 the three composed a first repertoire of about twenty songs that they will sing the following year on local stages.

At the start of 2002 they decide to take part in a modern music springboard called "Les nuits blanches" which treats the winner to a three day recording studio. After three selections, they win the contest and get back to rehearsing for the recording and in 2002, Alfafar record a four titles CD called "Night & day".

In 2003 the band performs in adjoining counties.

In collaboration with the contemporary dance company "Divergences" and the back-up of the Cahors town theatre, they prepare a plan to mix contemporary dancing with rock music.

On November the eight 2003, the project is shown at the "Docks" in Cahors during an opening night.

From November 2003 to June 2004, Alfafar is billed at the Docks in Cahors with the company D.

During this creative period the band keeps on playing on stage, complete the show "In2U" with the dancers and records a three titles CD , "Hot shock", inspired by this collaboration.
