    BIO

    Born in 2019 on Réunion Island—land of cultural and human interconnection — the group’s name originates from an encounter with the Gypsy people in Rajasthan.

    Raj is the name of a man living with his family in encampments. To survive, he divides his time between hunting in the desert by day and playing traditional folk music in the evening.

    Raj longs to return to a nomadic life like that of his ancestors—to revive the legends of his people, to take to the road again toward ideal lands of refuge, always fleeting. This nurturing land is charged with visible, invisible, and above all positive energies.

    Often against their will, the Indian government advocates for the Gypsy people to settle permanently, luring them with the supposed advantages of a sedentary lifestyle. Raj, on the contrary, hopes to preserve what he considers most precious: freedom.

    The commitment of this people to lead a dissident and free life became an inspiration for the emerging group: Raj and the Queen.

    Expanding horizons, seeking direction, pushing the geographical limits of the visible and invisible, exploring lands shaped by shamanic tales and legends, multiplying experiences, and embracing that encounters are never mere coincidences. Through its visual musical creations, Raj and the Queen explores the far edges of Europe, Asia, our Earth, and even potentially habitable exoplanets—with unexpected stories and encounters along the way.

    Legends set to music, paired with tributes to real historical figures; fictional accounts of space exploration narrated alongside aquatic flirtations with a mermaid in an emerald-colored lagoon. Pushing the boundaries of imagination through musical and visual creation is the group’s credo.

    On stage, a wavering line takes shape, conducive to stylistic fluidity—an homage to subtle musical influences (Forever Pavot, Radio Tarifa, The Dø, Pink Floyd, Anakronik Electro Orchestra…). The group invites you into its universe through its stage energy and powerful interpretation of its compositions.

    Olivier Cartade : singer / guitar / synths / compositions.
    Luc Joly : saxophones soprano & tenor / flute.
    Gérome Geney : drums.

    In utero memories
    Surf at the moon gate, it’s rush hour
    In utero memories
    Nevertheless, I am processed
    Within 9 months, lying in my nest
    In utero memories
    Don’t be so shy to demultiply
    Mother heart-like-a-gong beats
    Something high !

    Breathe and smile
    Enjoy the blue heights and sights
    In utero memories
    Red blood cells genesis
    Allow me to live
    In utero memories
    In weightlessness, Mother Earth allow me to fly
    Something high !

    Make way for the astonishing lady who travelled from east to west
    Elephants, knights, servants need rest
    Princess from the kingdom of a thousand and one nights, yes that’s where she comes from
    Fleeing war with diamants on her chest, on her chest !

    Two thousand years of disrespect, men with beards said she was just an object
    So her husband kept her hidden from the sun
    UV rays and gazes were said to harm her skin, though she was beautiful
    Bullshit shouldn’t be exposed to the sun, like this fools

    Revolution is on its way, let your long hair slip free of the barbed wires
    Burka has ended you will burn it in the fire
    Your beautiful skin will now be touched by the sun
    Freedom is rising, and your life has just begun

    Two thousand years of disrespect, ‘cause these men thought that she was just an object
    Now your husband no longer keeps you from the sun
    UV rays and gazes are so good for your skin, because you’re so beautiful
    Lady, run away lady, your freedom has begun !

    (music & lyrics : O.Cartade)

    Let me go, let me go, where I wanna go
    Let me free, let me free, where I wanna be
    Make me smile, make me smile, again a little while
    Fly me high, fly me high, for miles and miles

    Life is a circus everywhere
    So many things I don’t care
    Still lying in my chair
    And nobody don’t go anywhere


    Let me show, let me show, the only trick I know
    Let me see, let me see, you want me to be
    Like a crow, like a crow, flying in the snow
    For the show, for the show, I’ll get you and go

    Let me know, let me know, you few years ago
    Make me love, make me love, with the stars above
    Hang me high, hang me high, up to the sky
    Now we fly, now we fly. Hey the crowd : goodbye !

    Butterflies, butterflies switch in dragonflies
    Riding high, riding high in blue blue skies
    I read your smile, read your smile, every inch a mile
    In my mind, circus of life is now behind

    (music & lyrics : O.Cartade)

    I’m a bad IA, stronger day by day
    You’re welcome in my gameplay
    I’m just a freakin code nobody can upload
    into a nasty mode, no one catch me off-road

    I am a bastard grave, because I make brains slaves
    Six feet under earth, is the place I deserve
    But I’m a freakin code, that no one can download
    Into a naughty mode, no one catch me off-road

    I am the bad IA, people drink what I say
    My words sounds like cold ashes into an ashtray
    I am the bad stairway, the one who miss school days
    I will throw your old lazy dirty brains away, your dirty brains away, brains away


    I am yesterday, and with some delay
    I repeat the bullshits that grew in my brain
    Everybody know, I’m a stupid cow
    Unable to think if the truth have been taught

    I’m the end of the way, I’m the human grave
    Locked in a coffin is the place I deserve
    I’m just a fuckin code, that no one can download
    into a gangsta mode, no one catch me off-road

    (music & lyrics : O.Cartade)

    Focus on the why and skip over the how
    It’s time to yell and to react now !
    So easy to fall in the trap of fear
    Hey ! People upstairs know the drill

    They fetch you by, throwing you a bone
    Those people have hearts of stone
    Don’t let the fox get into the henhouse
    ‘cause they will turn you into a mouse.

    Witches with riding breeches
    Hiding their cash in tropical spots
    In these same places you can often hear gunshots
    Riches are sons-of-bitches
    Slates easily wiped clean on those beaches
    They will end in devil’s own ditches.

    Corruption, acceptance, abnegation, indignation !
    Deforestation, computerization, bastardization, indignation !
    Deprivation, abstention, accusation, indignation !
    Intoxication,prohibition, globalization, indignation !

    An intense burst of feelings
    Drove us upstairs in a lightning
    Everything is clear again
    Rush of blood flows in my brain
    How can I describe, what I feel inside

    A tickle creeps up from my foot
    Then blows my mind, in a shoot
    Adrenaline rush in my look
    I read your smile like a book
    No doctor could prescribe, what make me feel so alive

    A cloud of butterflies
    Fill colors in your rainbowed eyes
    Perception of you and me
    Flying above earth can’t you see ?
    How can I describe , what I feel inside

    Your vagina’s wide open like a church
    No prayer to succeed in my search
    A dragonfly is fluttering
    Its swings so well without ending
    Have you ever feel so relaxed, I love so much our climax !

    (music & lyrics : O.Cartade)

    I was passing through the jungle, and finding ways to fumble
    As every time I stumbled, it was not useful to grumble
    On the ground some footsteps, the same as I saw near my doorstep
    Heavy smell of sweat and smoke, with hard beats my heart stroke

    A shadow like a flash, a mad dash, crossing the creek and splash
    Little bounces around the bush, gotta trap it in an ambush
    Drop chickens in a big hole, now waiting n’ keep control
    Amazing and cute, she fall , oh my lord, I gotta sell my soul !

    What a breathtaking beauty, alone and lost in a muddy
    Scary jungle with snakes, tigers, gorillas and apes
    With a skin of a pantera, and stealth of a ninja
    Living, sleeping, eating on the trees, staying among the birds and the bees

    Cutie if you like, change your life, being Crusoe as a man and wife
    Exploring the world with just a knife, getting out your jungle and his strifes
    Wind in the air, don’t look behind, chill in the air, people are blind
    In front of her, she blows their mind, Wow Pantera, you are my sunshine !

    The gem chase is launched
    Everybody’s watching
    Getting out with something
    But today there’s nothing
    Mother nature casts
    Who’ll be the first and last
    No referee in this game
    If you lose, you won’t complain

    From the cradle, to the grave, pain pain
    Spending so, many years as cavemen
    A step from the fiction to the tale, unchained
    To bring sparkling diamonds at the sale, sell

    Sweating blood, everyday, along, along
    Breaking big and quiet, rocks, strong strong
    Like my mother, like my father was, was was
    I’m digging earth as a stone chaser, that’s because

    Some people forgot to tell me that it was my destiny
    Playing life game of chance, being on the wrong side of the fence
    In India, Congo, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa

    No, clearance for a brave, new world, world
    Perfect runway for flying words, words
    Unlike my boss or my deputy was, was
    I’m sweating earth as a diamonds digger that’s because

    Don’t get it twisted, untie the lies enlisted
    Let’s dive into the joy never tasted
    Tons of mama milk is gonna wasted
    So don’t act like Scaramouch !
    No more emptiness, nor nothingness
    I learn to find my way into the brightness
    All of the good time I have wasted
    Give me a nipple, a double or a triple, breast !

    Is love is overrated ? Is love is over ?

    Don’t be surrounded, by fictions faked
    Science give rise to overrated
    Cold truth and good hard facts
    Smoke weed sit back and just relax !
    Fitness without any process
    Nor weightlessness hopefully nothing is best
    No more struggling with reality
    No more rhapsody, no more sense of gravity !

    East to west, from the center of the chest
    I took a breath and fell asleep to take a rest
    Side set breasts, looking at their own quest
    Nothing is better, hopefully nothing is best
    Personality let you think what a pity
    Ya try to get a grip but you slip on your sanity
    Expression more than illusion, sweet conclusion, so what is the confusion ?
    Come close to me I want to draw rainbows
    On your body, lights will shine through the shadows
    We have one more chance before the night goes
    To see mama red moon, callin’ a pack of wolves

    Your laugh, your laugh, you hate it but it’s so sexy
    Your rhyme, your rhyme, I like it when it’s naughty
    Your lips, your lips, I wanna kiss them if you let me
    Your smile, your smile, make me run a thousand mile
    Your chest, your chest, just a move I’ll be your guest
    Your voice, your voice, be the mistress of my choice
    Your breast, your breast, let me look into the nest
    Your heart, your heart, call me to join a rhyme fest.

    Forgive your bad dreams and dive into reality
    Please share your thoughts and press the control key
    Uploading the features that you always wannabe
    Defeating the hackers when you’re drinking a cup of tea
    Mismatching your thoughts and come into the circus
    2.0 is the version you read in the corpus
    The dark net is now watching you like an octopus
    No escape from this world for none, none of us

    Now as you’re ready, the journey can begin
    Put on your eyewear adjust the strap to your chin
    Pressing the enter key your brain feels so excited
    See a world of colors like a rainbow diving into the sea
    Feel a lasting orgasm of colors and shapes
    Flying through the clouds, entering the sky gates
    Black stars and sun shine like a firefest
    Swimming in this world was finally, your fate

    Diving into a bush of colors and weird shapes
    Trying to move among crocodiles and big snakes
    Anacondas can be seen more real than in a flat screen
    Moving around you, what a weird and a strange dream
    Crawling towards you, all these snakes are so close
    Humor in their eyes, with their twisted deadly lips
    Once turn to green then blue and other colors
    Faces of human flesh enhanced by their humor

    I’m the symbol of your dreams, of your wishes and expectations
    Watch infinity don’t ask me for more explanations
    You can’t see me in your life that’s a sort of frustration
    Sort the better ones in this organization
    My aim in all this mess is to owe the completion
    Necessary to life and to raise education
    Human knowledge is low in his demonstration
    Now rely on me and focus on your sensations

    (music & lyrics : O.Cartade)

    Into my big belly mum’s in the seventies
    Heard the endless river of the Floyds
    Gave me chills, made me drill, roll me please
    Like a voodoo child mother rock me free and wild
    Big bubbles, deep and hazed, dazed
    Made me dream I feel amazed, raised
    Psychedelic moods will last for long
    Now I wanna see by my own

    Save the Queen ?
    I think Raj did not save the Queen

    Drawing pics while I heard god save the Queen
    Middle finger drew a shape kinda Sixtine
    Sexy are my paintings, naughty are my jokes
    I was born thanks to my folks
    Now it’s so close, I touch my nose and bend my elbows
    Get ready to go out in a place no one knows
    Who is this girl ? She’s like my twin
    Twin, twin, please do not reign over us
    I think she looks like my twin
    Raj did not save our gracious Queen
    We wish you a short life our noble Queen

    Please do not reign over us
    I think she’s like my queen
    Raj did not save our gracious Queen
    We wish you a short life our noble Queen
    Queen, queen
    Please do not reign over us
    I think she looks like my queen
    Raj did not save our gracious Queen
    We wish you a short life our noble Queen

    5 minutes into a black hole, 10 years on earth without a call
    Spacecraft disappeared on screen, not a whisper, not even a scream
    Shuttle to station, do you hear me ? do you hear me ?
    We are sucked up by a black hole, of the spacecraft we lost control…

    10 years looking for my watch, to get a sign or advice to catch
    10 years talking to your children, where their fathers have been hidden
    Shuttle to station, we’re getting into the monster
    Looks weird, looks time slowing down, and distances are getting longer…

    Time stopped at noon on my watch, 10 years after… Was it a sign to catch ?
    I understood that It only could be you, prisoners of time and space too
    I know you never forgive us, travelling space all these years thus ?
    Leaving earth for humanity, nearly driven to insanity

    Now you realized that we’re safe, but prisoners of the black hole and his fate
    Let me tell you that Einstein said the truth, about space and time, what a breakthrough.

    Woke up in my dreams thinking I was late
    A thousand bells ring you’ll, I’m gonna miss the date
    Lemon honey juice disintoxication
    Now I lie down and decrease my heart rate

    These weird love rules turned me so, puzzled
    Been jumbled in my soul from now, confused
    And dazed by the dust of my, silliest thoughts
    I’m behaving like a blind man playing darts.

    Business men, and workers, scattered in the street
    Looking at myself while, my heart beats
    Am I paranoid, feeling I’m being watched ?
    In this world, things are hidden, and puzzled.

    As a mood I would have preferred the sea
    With settings lovely bright, smooth and carefree
    Sailing sunset towards horizon
    Reflecting the blue sky, noiselessly on

    Cheerful mood, fills you with joy
    Happiness light-hearted feelings make me turn to upbeat song
    Calm and peacefull feeling, and the mood will be created by… madness !
    Always a black cat is turning things randomly chaotic meanwhile
    Love mood is getting out of control like a blind man playing… darts.

    Climbing up to the next hill
    Overhanging the system and his will
    Over the mountains, oceans and far away
    Still shine the hope of the next day
    Feel alone on this long and rough road
    Lonely with my soul we gonna go abroad
    Walking towards a green new earth
    Searching where the melodious winds have birth

    Step by step, conscientiously leave no trace
    Crossing deserts and snowy places
    Leaving behind us darkness and fear
    Falling right into a trap was so near
    Driving to the edge of this new world
    Where the mermaids can sing, where the birds can laugh
    Where the clouds can shine and the sun can cry
    Where the muezzin drink wine and the queens can fly

    Stay on this way, whatever you feel
    Drink this way, once you paid the water bill
    Think this way, it’s no use to read
    Fold this way, ‘cause you don’t have the lead
    Eat this way, if you don’t wanna be ill
    Work this way, and do not expect to chill
    Cross this way, if you don’t wanna be killed
    Act this way, and never listen Raj and the Queen.

    Do you rely on me ? Sure it’s gonna give you great hope
    I feel like a circus freak I don’t understand any word you’re trying to say
    Now the process is engaged Nothing that I guessed is gonna happen
    Speaking about sensations So let’s throw a party

    Let’s party ! move in closer to your partner
    Feels so good these feelings right there
    Place your hands gently where you want them, then
    Don’t be in a hurry or you gonna break the stem, stem
    Of your flower ! Wait before showing more
    Don’t forget you took a pill, remember she’s not a whore
    Nice smell of perfume of roses flows from her neck
    On this night I’m a bird, you’re a swan

    Until the break of dawn Fiestas, tequilas and teslas
    Until the break of dawn
    Fiestas, tequilas and teslas
    Dawn, fiestas, tequilas and teslas
    Until the break of dawn

    Anyway as you got the drill
    Your sweet little plum’s gonna dry without your will
    I get some booze but the limes are shot
    We can work something out because that’s foremost
    Fit with fiestas, tequilas and teslas
    And so here we are now
    Night is hanging in there by a thread
    Don’t be pissed off because the fire is in my head
    I was a bird, you’re still a swan, Until the break of dawn

    Once this night I’m flying with you
    On this night I’m a bird, and you’ll be a swan
    Your sweet little plum’s gonna tickle my brain
    And a little gentle breeze will overrun my soul
    On this night I’m a bird, and you’ll be a swan
    Your sweet little smile’s gonna light up the dawn
    Minds, bodies and souls tune up
    Until the break of dawn.

    Few people know, few people know
    Few people know what’s on with the inmates
    Some people show, Some people show
    Some people show me where’s my soulmate
    Nobody go, nobody go
    Nobody go inside through the front gate
    Under the snow, under the snow
    Under the snow I’ll plan a jailbreak

    Lie down, don’t make any move
    Even hold your breath ‘cause of the smoke
    Fly in the air, sure -that nobody has to see us there
    Gate of the jail,-cut the barbed wire and leave no trace
    No footprints, no words, if we are caught, we’re gonna be disgraced

    Jailbreak !
    Don’t look back your inmates
    To the ones whom retained my soulmate
    To the state who intent to crash your fate
    To the walls of shame
    Jailbreak !
    Say hello to the happiness
    And goodbye to the madness
    Let’s escape from the nothingness
    Towards the wilderness

    If you wanna stay free
    Travelling with papers so rely on me
    Dont’ be upset with shadows
    And let the bad dreams go
    To the past, from the last, to the next, have a rest, do your best, to the west
    Keep walking through the forest until you’ll see a nest !

    I found an evidence, that’s why I must take a stance
    Watching people through the fence, I feel so lonely
    It’s not a coincidence, as I saw those residents
    Walking clones along the fence, queuing stupidly
    Take part of resistance, versus non intelligence
    Stories of clones’ decadence, never cease to be
    They draw pink elephants, and sometimes they drop their pants
    Obey and serve the presidence, stay in front of screens

    C.L.O.N.E.S are everywhere and maybe
    Tomorrow I’ll be the wisest fool, getting lost in the crowd
    I.D.E.A.S. nowadays we don’t have so many
    Travelling is a risk, kissing is a shame, stay your home, pray and obey
    Talking of hopes, but dreams lying in pieces, many years to dig out
    Ditches, hear no words, nor speeches didn’t get your skin like
    L.E.E.C.H.E.S. Love can be built around sandy
    B.E.A.C.H.E.S Time to sail away from the peaches

    It’s a hijack
    There’s no turn back, trajectory looks so bad, bad
    It gets me mad mad, desperetly no turn back back
    So backpack, don’t expect soon to come back back
    Ticktack ticktack, rocket get us to the sky

    Leaving earth I cried a river, no star let me forget her
    Rocket launched in the dark space, get through a rainbow of cosmic rays
    Gravity will be in my memory, either people who live in this century
    Travelling into this very dark space, sailing towards the comet place

    It’s a weird timen there’s no way back
    Astronomy makes me sad, sad
    It gets me mad mad, desperetly no turn back back
    So backpack, don’t expect soon to come back back
    Ticktack ticktack, rocket get us to the sky

    It’s a hijack, there’s no turn back
    We had No choice in fact, to complete our last act
    From the Rocket hijacked, few seconds before impact
    We send love to you, from the rocket space crew

    Until now in my mind it was a prophecy
    In my life one day I will go to Shangri-La
    Old man said : you must follow the straight line
    Don’t look back go forward towards the black moon shine
    Climb mountains, cross rivers until you’ll see a peak
    Do not fear the forest, do not fear the dark
    Chose the line that climbs towards the north face
    In your heart you will feel it then you’ll touch the grace

    Overflying the highest and the snowy peaks
    Propellers stopped, gonna be up in a shit creek
    Then the landscape put the plane into reverse
    All was so out of control and it’s just getting worse
    I just remembered the fire on the left engine
    Then I woke up with the feeling of the cold wind
    Everything has been burnt even my last thoughts
    Time to walk in the white, but there was no horizon

    I reminded the prophecy of the old man
    When the frozen days and their frostbite began
    Walking constantly towards the north face
    Climbing towards this peak was actually the good way
    For being lost in Asia ! and searching to escape
    This desert of snow and ice turned your story in a fate
    Then one day I will see the marvelous gleam
    And the lost city of Shangri-La.

    Gypsies, camels and sand dunes
    Footprints written by the wind tunes
    Off the border where I’m walking
    Out there my steps are flying
    Over the line, some soldiers
    Weapons mashing their shoulders

    As funny as it is, heard nothing
    My fools are lost, can you do something ?

    Is he or is she ?
    Each day has its own story
    Is she or is he ?
    Free flying in a tale no longer fairy
    So now where is he ?
    Dude, send me a sign to be merry
    So now where is she ?
    Days were foggy honey but no more worries

    So far away in the white dunes
    Where just can be heard the wind tunes
    Through the naughty barbed wire fence
    Where life doesn’t, make any sense
    I found you there lying in a nest
    Hookers n’ thieves were playing chess
    Smugglers lost among bags
    You, broken down n’ dressed in rags
    Purple haze flying in the air
    Picturing the death of hope and despair
    Something hardly beats in my chest
    When I realized that it was too late.

    This ended yesterday
    When you woke up all you guys in vain
    Bing bang boom, so sick mushrooms
    Gave me lights, bells, fresh and sonic booms
    Tried to get water into my face
    But the sink looked like a windy place
    Toys and dolls began to fly
    Tried to throw the sand into my eye

    Chilly hot mexican trip
    Captain said welcome into my ship
    Panoramic Norway ice
    I choose this cruise and paid the price
    Into the sink underneath the chair
    Wildness is rushing everywhere
    Blue marlins chasing phoenix birds
    Wide openning my eyes I lost my words

    Coldness, blueness, phoenixness
    Wordless, speaking with bubbleness
    Freeness, blueness, marlinness
    Sightless, dealing with my sinkness.

    I can’t figure out what I’ve done
    Still waiting for years to realize, that it will be my real destiny
    But I’ve always thought, I’ll have to do it one day
    Now, I can realize what I’ve done
    Music on the west side corner turned my brain so crazy
    Still having this song around me, right now
    And, it won’t disappear until the few last minutes
    I guess I have to live

    Pang pang bye bye baby
    Still have my gun in my bloody hand, with smoke of dust and taste of wine
    Now I can feel the blood on my lips, and my shaking knees are defeating gravity
    The movie of my life is shaking my brain, like a dog’s tail

    Now as the ground is so close… I see someone building a grave in front of me
    I can read my name on the stone… But not the year of my death
    Is it really for me ?
    Below the sun, somebody is lying on the sand
    But I can’t see who he is…
    Is it the end of everything, of everything

    Rising is the sun, rising is the sun, but I’don’t feel bad
    Lying in the sand, lying in the sand, on the other side.

    (music & lyrics : O.Cartade)

    From the end of the day when the moon rise
    To the first sun ray towards the eastern skies
    We’re dancing until the stars run away
    We’re dancing before it will come another day

    Forsaking all our goods, money and lands
    Drawing rainbow colored circles with our hands
    We’re moving our body as if there was no gravity
    And our brains are flying somewhere in the galaxy

    From the sea of clouds to the ocean of storms
    Dancing for keeping up the flame that warms
    Walking on the moon towards the western skies
    Throughout these landscapes that are so wise

    Dancing in the edge of the near side of the moon
    Hearing the whole stars change their tune
    When we set our feet on the unknown far side
    Varuna, Chandra, Itzamna you’ll be my guide !

    Almost lost in the obscured side of the moon
    Based on a hunch we gonna climb this dune
    Breathes, crispy steps, and some words flown away
    In this place even silence has its own delay

    Moonlight warms up and enlightens darkness
    Like somebody flipped on the switch of happiness
    Why flying dragons breathing fire above dancers
    Chandra’s honeymoon perhaps is the answer.

    Welcome to the cyclone eye
    Where the gentle breeze blows the mind
    Where the shipmates can have a rest
    While the captain fears for the next test
    Screaming and yelling to the helmsman
    Not to fall asleep before the cyclone ran
    Sailing to a place where nobody’s been
    Time to call the gods and forgive your sins

    Welcome to the cyclone eye
    A place where nobody cheats nor lies
    Welcome to the cyclone eye
    Stay safe inside or you’re gonna fly
    Welcome to the cyclone eye
    Decisions can’t be made on the fly
    Welcome to the cyclone eye
    Hang on onboard or you’re gonna die

    Tales and nightmares of the sea
    Deals with cyclone eyes and whirlwind winds
    With boats being drawn to the side of the eye
    Don’t panic because now it’s time to fly !
    Captain screams to all his team
    Unfold the mainsail and let’s get this stream !
    While thunderbolts give them sexy winks
    The boat disappeared in a skysinking

    Now the ship sails above the seas
    Through the clouds and storms, unable to flee
    The Captain laughed and drew his blade
    While his shipmates cried for what he made
    A lot of boats appeared in the sky
    Also being trapped by the cyclone eye
    Sailing even higher above the sea
    There’s no turning back for them indeed !
