Context
The article provides information about a musical duo named Kam, consisting of siblings Lina Ramdin and Kiran Ramdin. They have released an EP titled “Agap&ecute;” and are known for their unique blend of music genres.
Fact Check
The information is factually accurate based on the details provided about the musical duo Kam.
By the city, she is Lina Ramdin, 23 years old, an engineer in Guipavas after studying in Rennes, and he is Kiran Ramdin, 29 years old, a music teacher and artistic director after four years as a cultural coordinator at the Hermitage detention center in Brest and a professional license as a Web designer.
On stage and in the studio, she is Maya, he is The Key, and together they form the duo Kam.
In life, they are brother and sister, originally from Savenay in Loire-Atlantique. They have been very close since childhood. “Kiki (as she affectionately calls him) sang me things in my cradle,” says Lina Ramdin. “We have been singing and playing together since forever.”
She has been playing the piano since she was 8-9 years old, and he plays the guitar, piano, bass – and a bit of drums all by ear,” explains Kiran Ramdin. The brother and sister add, “Mom sang a lot, dad led a group of young people who played rock, music had a big place in the house.”
A New Artistic Direction
After various experiences and projects, the duo found their artistic direction (AD) two years ago. “We wanted to show that music can make you feel better and heal from traumas,” details Kiran Ramdin.
“In general, Kiki lays the groundwork, and we both write, sometimes together, sometimes on our own, and then we flesh it out in the studio,” explains Lina Ramdin. At the Althemy studio, “right near my place, a professionally equipped home studio with Yuka, our sound engineer for six years.”
It was in this studio that the five-track EP “Agap&ecute;” was recorded, set to be released on June 12 (available on all platforms and on the duo’s YouTube channel). “It is part of a virtuous circle process that we started two years ago. Two EPs have already been released: Ilska, which means anger in Swedish, in October 2024, associated with fire, and Jekb, which means deep sadness in ancient Egyptian, in March 2025, representing water. In 2027, we will release the fourth one, Heiwa, peace in Japanese, associated with air,” they explain.
Five Tracks
The first track, OS, speaks about “how alive you feel when you start loving again against all odds,” the second, Hit Parade, “captures the calm certainty that the right person is there for you,” the third, Sans toi, “evokes the gentle anguish of seeing an inner garden die that has barely started to bloom,” and the fourth, Métis, “marks the end of quicksand and storms, the discovery of an increasingly lush world of greenery.”
And the last one, Balafres, “symbolizes the moment when scars turn into fertile ground. Love, which is treated in many forms, is a powerful feeling: it can help us exorcise our demons.”
The Key and Maya share a bit of their experiences, of things felt and buried that they want to express. “We like each part of a song to tell a story. Our work is focused on storytelling.” The music is sometimes catchy, sometimes hypnotic, always rhythmic and finely crafted. Progressive hip-hop.
Concerts
“We are winners of the Wam (We Art Minds) Creative Bank call for projects, based in the Capucins workshops, which is supporting us this year. We recently organized an intimate acoustic concert there for a first listen of Agap&ecute;.”
If their father is still the duo’s manager, it is now the photographer Camille Lefeuvre who creates visuals, since the new AD.
The duo will perform on June 13 at the Bouge Festival in Saint-Nazaire (Loire-Atlantique), on June 21 for the Fête de la Musique in Brest, in the afternoon at Cours Dajot, on June 26 at 6 p.m. at Bouillon-Jaurès in Brest, and on July 13 in the village of Lampaul-Guimiliau before the fireworks display.
