Supergroupe

Supergroupe is a term born at the end of the Années 1960, to indicate a group (at the base, of rock'n'roll) trained musicians having already acquired a certain notoriety within one or several other groups. They can be transitory formations, where active musicians in groups with great notoriety join to play together the time of an album or some concerts.

The American chain VH1 diffuses an emission called SuperGroup which exploits this concept by combining various known musicians.
