About
Niagara, French pop rock duo from Rennes, active 1982–1993.
Niagara is a French pop rock duo formed in 1982 by Muriel Moreno and Daniel Chenevez in Rennes. Their music integrates synth-pop and electronic elements within the pop rock genre. Their catalog includes four studio albums released on Polydor between 1986 and 1992. Key releases such as Encore un dernier baiser, Quel Enfer!, Religion, and La Vérité punctuate their career. The band disbanded in 1993 after a prolific period marked by numerous concerts and chart success. Vinyl collectors can find original pressings and reissues across European and Canadian labels.
Their style combines catchy melodies with 80s new wave influences, underscored by polished production and synth textures. Though no longer active, Niagara maintains a dedicated fan base and steady vinyl market presence.
