Totorro is a French instrumental rock band that has carved a niche for itself with its energetic and melodic compositions, blending elements of math rock, post-rock, and pop with a distinctly euphoric and accessible vibe. Formed in Rennes, France, the band has been known to defy the language barrier through their music, creating wordless narratives that resonate with a global audience.

With their 2014 release "Home Alone," Totorro established a sound characterized by playful guitar lines, dynamic rhythms, and an uplifting spirit. The album was well-received for its polished production and the band's ability to convey emotion and storytelling without the presence of lyrics. Their follow-up album "Come to Mexico," released in 2016, saw the band expanding their sonic palette and exploring more diverse musical landscapes, further securing their position in the European indie music scene. In their recent work, such as the single "Et si l'amour c'était aimer ?," Totorro continues to showcase their unique ability to fuse intricate musicality with catchy, expansive soundscapes. Despite the lack of conventional vocals, Totorro manages to create a rich, emotive experience that has built a strong following and positioned them as one of the intriguing acts in the instrumental music sphere.
