Niagara was a French rock band that achieved popularity both in France and Canada in the 1980s and early 1990s.[1] The band, who was known under the name L'Ombre jaune from 1982 to 1984, was formed in Rennes, France by vocalist Muriel Laporte (later known as Muriel Moreno ) and keyboardist Daniel Chenevez .[2] Early on, the band also included guitarist José Tamarin, although he left before the release of their first album.[3]
Evolving from a new wave and synth-pop style on their earlier albums to a more rock-oriented style on their later ones, they were frequently compared to the British duo Eurythmics.[1]
