Muriel Laporte, also known as Niagara, is a French artist who emerged in the early 80s. While studying in Rennes, France, she crossed paths with José Tamarin and together they formed the band Niagara. In 1985, their first 12" record titled "Tchiki Boum" was released by Polydor. Despite guitarist José Tamarin leaving shortly after its release, Niagara went on to produce several hit songs before ultimately disbanding during a tour in Sweden in 1992.

Niagara's music can be described as a blend of pop and rock with catchy melodies and captivating lyrics. Their unique sound resonated with audiences across France and beyond. Throughout their career, Niagara gained recognition for their distinctive style and memorable performances.
