A quest for female emancipation where dream and reality intertwine. Fatma, fleeing societal pressures, finds strength in a defiant sisterhood. Between visual poetry and the power of Aïta, this clip is an ode to freedom and the strength of women.

JAZZ ITALIA [IT] Vincenzo Fugaldi, January 7th 2025
"A festive finale with the ethno-jazz of marimbist Andrés Coll... full of contagious energy, giving the music different, very pleasant directions."

JAZZENZO [NL] Georges Tonla Briquet and Leentje Arnouts, January 10th 2025
"Under the motto 'let there be marimba,' the young Coll almost completely lost himself behind his instrument in trance... a smashing finale to an extremely varied and eclectic festival program."

 NEW MEMBERS

We are thrilled to announce two new collaborations: the Neapolitans Ra di Spina and the Occitans Barrut are joining our family.

RA DI SPINA

RA_DI_SPINA_2.jpg

Our voices are rooted deep in the earth just as a tree with its strong rough roots.

 

A voice is a root, an X-ray of Being. The popular melodies we sing connect our roots to contemporary times.”
Ethnical roots, deeply related to the heart of popular south Italian folk music, mixed with contemporary electronic sounds of loopstation and synth. Above all, voices, voices, voices. Ra di spina is a vocal-centred project founded by Laura Cuomo, vocalist and researcher.
A timeless music is born, joining voices and electronic sounds, where archaic and modern influences collide.

BARRUT

BARRUT_POLIFONIA_OFFICIEL_(3)_MatCaton.jpg

Barrut is a a thread stretched across the abyss. Harmony keeps us from falling.

 

Barrut are seven singers and a percussionist who find the source for their magnetic and wild songs in the vocal polyphonies of the French region of Occitânia. Melodically irresistible, they carry the Mediterranean in the powerful rhythms in which each song is hooked, creating a unique sound environment, like a popular song that can be said to translate the surrounding social environment and nature at every moment. With their own poetry and believing that their music must emerge from a shared creative process, Barrut invade our senses and take us on an unforgettable journey.
