Tahiti 80 is an English-language French pop group formed in 1993 in Rouen, France.
The group's name originates from a slogan on a t-shirt worn by Xavier's father. Their music resembles pop with soul tendencies. They have encountered a fair amount of success in Japan, notably.
Composed of four members (three of whom sing), the group makes use of guitar, percussion/drums, bass guitar, programming and keyboards:
- Xavier Boyer: vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards, piano
- Médéric Gontier: guitar, vocals, keyboards
- Sylvain Marchand: drums/percussion, keyboards, piano
- Pedro Resende: bass, programming, keyboards, percussion, vocals
