Tuesday 24th March

Titi Robin is a self-taught musician born at the end of the Fifties in the West of France. He built his personal musical universe by borrowing instinctively from various musical sources: India, North Africa, his two main sources of influence being the Gypsy and Eastern cultures.

El Hadj N'Diaye is a singer of « texts », a teller of songs. In the wake of daily-life poets, memorialists and philosophers, this committed bard is a voice that emerges, boiling over, from its sole subject: reality. His are never just soft « ballads »: they sting in places. Their sobriety is bound to a sentinel, an implacable inner voice in a state of alert.

Soha's limpid vocals also offer many different shades, as does her music, which is a delicate mixture of sun-kissed sounds that evoke in turn reggae, jazz, Cap Verde, Cuba.

Wednesday 25th March

Yodelice is Maxim Nucci's alter ego, his second self . The french musician and producer went to LA to record " Tree of life " ( to be relased April 09 on Mercury/Universal ), with the help of top local musicians such as Abraham Laboriel ( Mc Cartney, Clapton...) on drums, and Beck's horn section . The result is a clever production with catchy folk/pop songs wrapped in an elegant twilight atmosphere, where you can feel influences of Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, David Crosby, JJ Cale, America...

After the highly acclaimed Wild Serenade and Sakat recorded with some musicians from the Yemen, the two fellow musicians Smadj and Mehdi Haddab, Duoud, return to their original formula of the duo. Hovering between tradition and futurism, with varying moods ranging from surf kitsch to contemporary groove, they bring the oud right up to datewith dance and modernity.

Four years after the second album of his band, Overhead, Nicolas Leroux, a.k.a. The Fugitive Kind offers us « Stone Age ». With its cinematic and haunted feel, the influences here are subtly blended, and if he still loves Talk Talk, The Cure, David Sylvain or PJ Harvey, this very personal « Stone Age » shows new horizons, from My Bloody Valentine to Kate Bush, the Cocteau Twins or Joni Mitchell, as well as the inevitableScott Walker.
