History
Originating from the French alternative scene, Lofofora was formed in 1989 in Paris. The band has been considered one of the pioneering acts of the "crossover" (or "fusion") genre in France. Rooted in the punk subculture, their sound blends rap metal, hardcore punk, and heavy metal.
Lofofora's "target" is intolerance; Wangermez said, "Only sheep need a shepherd". They write songs of protest and denounce some of the failings of the French society. For example, the problems in the underdeveloped outskirts, the "hypocrisy of the politics of the French extreme right leagues", racism, liberalism, individualism, "stupidity" and the "colonization of minds by the media". Wangermez's lyrics, which he sang in his native language, are social chronicles, saying that he "fights to provoke thought or to stir up trouble. Hit the bull's-eye rather than shooting buckshot". Among their titles are "Buvez du cul" (English: "Drink from ass") and "No Facho".
Lofofora has participated at concerts to support the defense of the poorly housed people, undocumented migrants, AIDSorphans international and the anarchist federation. The band played concerts in France as well as in Belgium and Canada.
