Program notes
For this concert at the Jazz à la Villette Festival, the duo present an original program, featuring the exceptional accordionist Vincent Peirani, saxophonist Emile Parisien and singer Lynn Adib. It is a surprising and exhilarating encounter between Middle Eastern and Balkan music, jazz and electronic music.
The Franco-Serbian pianist and composer Bojan Z, a pioneer in the fusion of jazz and Balkan music, has been the driving force behind borderless projects that have united different cultures for the past thirty years.
The Franco-Lebanese singer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Bacher Mar Khalifé is a multifaceted musician. Since the release of his first album Oil Slick in 2010, he has developed projects in film music, contemporary music, electro, hip-hop, and jazz, while remaining in tune with the traditional Lebanese repertoire.
