Cesária Évora Orchestra continues its tour in France

Sorry, this entry is only available in FR.Après le succès de sa tournée en France en 2025 (La Marbrerie, Musiques Métisses, Africolor...), le Cesária Évora Orchestra poursuit sa route à la rencontre de son public pour célébrer Cesária Évora, en réunissant sur scène la crème des musiciens capverdiens et quelques-unes des plus grandes voix actuelles : Elida Almeida, Lucibela, Téofilo Chantre et Ceuzany. Voici les premières dates de la tournée à venir en France et en Europe pour 2026 (d'autres seront annoncées prochainement ) : • 18/03/2026 : Le Colisée, Lens (62) • 19/03/2026 : Rocher de Palmer, Cenon (33) • 20/03/2026 : festival Détours de Babel, L’Heure Bleue, Saint-Martin d’Hères (38) • 21/03/2026 : L’Arsenal, Metz (57) • 12/06/2026 : Les Nuits de Fourvières, Lyon (69) // invitée : Mayra Andrade • 17/07/2026 : Verbier Festival, Vevey (CH) La formation actuelle est composée de la crème des artistes de la scène cap-verdienne d'aujourd'hui : Ceuzany, Elida Almeida, Lucibela et Teofilo Chantre. La disparition soudaine de Cesária Évora le 17 décembre 2011 suscita une grande émotion parmi ses fans qui se réunirent par milliers, en 2012, pour honorer sa mémoire lors de concerts mémorables, notamment à Toulouse, Lisbonne, Amsterdam et Paris. Autour des musiciens qui accompagnaient habituellement la chanteuse, les plus grandes voix des musiques du monde sont venus rendre un ultime hommage à celle que l’on surnommait La Diva aux pieds nus – parmi elles Bonga, Angélique Kidjo, Lura, Ismaël Lô, Mayra Andrade, Bernard Lavilliers, Tito Paris pour n’en citer que quelques-unes. Après ces grandes messes, les musiciens n’ont eu qu’une envie : continuer à faire vivre le répertoire de Cesaria qui avait enchanté le public sur les scènes du monde entier. C’est ainsi qu’ils se réunirent sous le nom de Cesária Évora Orchestra pour un premier concert, en 2014 au Kriol Jazz Festival à Praia (Cap-Vert), en hommage à l’icône des musiques du monde et à son action, notamment en tant qu’Ambassadrice de la musique cap- verdienne. Depuis cette date, le Cesária Évora Orchestra se produit régulièrement dans le monde pour célébrer Cesária Évora.

Le Bal Jacquin presents “Au bout du bout”

Le Bal Jacquin, the ‘bal du monde’ quartet led by accordionist, composer and rhythm explorer Éric Allard-Jacquin, will unveil its new album ‘Au bout du bout’, due for release on 20/03/2026 on A tout va / Modulor Records Paris. This opus will be presented on Thursday 9 April 2026 on stage at La Petite Halle (Paris, 19th arrondissement) during an exceptional launch concert. The album's first single, featuring Bazbaz, is already available on all platforms. "Au bout du bout thus presents itself as a disc of resistance. Against the abandonment of the accordion to old fashioned types like Chance aux chansons, against the gangrene of identity, against withdrawal into oneself and the ad nauseam rumination on one's own sorrows and pains, these ten compositions affirm the transcendent powers of imagination, experience, sharing and attention to the world. Of course, a few demons still linger, as do flashes of melancholy. But dance puts things back in their place, with the heart beating at the centre and everything that threatens to stop it at the periphery. At the end of the day, for Bal Jacquin, the future is bright." Louis-Julien Nicolaou Alongside Éric Allard-Jacquin (accordion) are three musicians with unique backgrounds: Matthis Pascaud (guitar) François Lapeyssonnie (bass) Arthur Alard (drums) Two talented guests complete the quartet: Bazbaz (vocals) on the track ‘Au bout du bout’ (track 2) Oriane Lacaille (vocals, percussion) on the track ‘Fanm tambour’ (track 4) Le Bal Jacquin is an invitation to dance, to listen, to explore different styles and soundscapes. Created by accordionist, composer and rhythm explorer Éric Allard-Jacquin, the group brings together four musicians from rich and contrasting backgrounds, united by a common desire: to create a contemporary dance party that is curious, open and without boundaries. Le Bal Jacquin is neither a bal musette nor a bal folk. It is a free ball. It borrows from traditional forms what is most alive in them: their ability to bring people together, to move them, to make them dance – while reinventing them with a contemporary musical language. At a crossroads, the group fully embraces its influences: the woody, brassy trances of Baobab Orchestra, the musical tales of Ry Cooder, and the joyful inventiveness of André Minvielle, capable of making words swing as well as bodies. Éric Allard-Jacquin's compositions navigate between song, instrumental trance, swaying rhythms and poetic flights of fancy. Vocals are rare, but never absent: they emerge, spoken or sung, often in dialogue with the accordion. You can hear echoes of the Mediterranean, West Africa, the bayous of the southern United States, and even the popular dances of Central Europe. After several concerts in France, Le Bal Jacquin is preparing to release its first album, ‘Au bout du bout’, the result of demanding and generous creative work. The album, recorded in the studio, will feature several renowned guests, including Camille Bazbaz and Oriane Lacaille, two artists whose uniqueness and timbre enrich the group's sound palette. More than just a musical project, Le Bal Jacquin is a way of conceiving the collective: lively music in constant dialogue with the audience, with the world, with dance. A ball where nothing is reproduced, but where everything is invented in the moment.

Jocelyn Mienniel presents “Jocelyn Mienniel & les instruments migrateurs”

Flutist, composer and sound designer Jocelyn Mienniel will unveil ‘Jocelyn Mienniel & Les Instruments Migrateurs’, his sixth album (digital and CD), on 16 January 2026, released on Buda Musique / Socadisc. “Because the musical cultures of the five continents are migratory birds that tell the story of humanity's past, present and future. Because the art of the flute, like the singing voice, is a vibrant and enduring testimony to the multiculturalism that surrounds us.” At the origin of this project is the urgent need to break down the physical and psychological walls that are being erected all over the planet and, more insidiously, in our minds. These migratory instruments could not be better named. Whether they appear in China, Persia or West Africa, they carry with them the richness of humanity. Like fairy tales, they have adorned themselves with the languages and customs they have encountered to offer us these intense experiences of discovering an Elsewhere that is so far away and yet so close, of an Other that is so different and yet so similar. To make a strong impact, Jocelyn Mienniel came up with a simple idea. Taking advantage of a two-season residency at the Comptoir/ Halle Roublot, he decided to bring together extraordinary artists from five continents to engage in cross-border dialogues. They meet on stage from 3 to 7pm and experiment together with a framework provided in advance by each of the protagonists. They would perform it that same evening and share the fruits of their fleeting encounter in a free improvisation. It is a joy to share once again a moment from these thirteen unforgettable concerts. With his unique way of combining wind and percussion, Jocelyn Mienniel makes the flute a resolutely modern instrument. Renowned for his inventive playing and his unique and instantly recognisable sound, he ceaselessly explores the expressive limits of the flute through a poetic, dreamlike and rich world, mixing virtuosity, improvisation and electro-acoustic textures. He is a milestone in the history of an instrument that is over 50,000 years old. The very broad spectrum of his influences and activities makes this musician a truly extraordinary cross- disciplinary artist, constantly expanding his territory of performance and inspiration by collaborating with artists from all over the world.

Ana Crismán Arpa Flamenca presents « Arpaora »

Ana Crismán Arpa Flamenca, Spanish harpist from Andalousia will unveil her new album ‘Arpaora’ on its release, February 20, 2026, on Andalouse Alhambra / InOuïe Distribution. The album ‘Arpaora’ is the first flamenco harp record in the history of music. When it was released in Spain in digital format on 28/03/2025, it was widely acclaimed by critics: ‘Ana Crismán, the artist who turned the harp into a flamenco instrument.’ EL PAÍS ‘A pioneer and unique in the world in the use of the harp for flamenco.’ RTVE ‘She is going to revolutionise flamenco.’ José Mercé (flamenco artist) Ana Crismán Arpa Flamenca and Luis de la Carrasca (guest artist) will present this new album on stage at the Studio de L'Ermitage during an exceptional launch concert on 18/03/2026, featuring the following line-up: Ana Crismán Arpa Flamenca (flamenco harp), Luis de la Carrasca (flamenco vocals), Juan Luis Fernández (percussion) and Céline Daussan ‘La Rosa Negra’ (dance). On this album, Ana Crismán Arpa Flamenca is accompanied by: Jesús Méndez: vocals; Javier Ktumba: percussion and palmas; Vicente Soto Sordera: vocals; Pedro Navarro: percussion; M. Cantarote: palmas; José Valencia: vocals; Juan Diego Valencia Vargas: palmas; Jorge Pardo: brass artist collaboration; Rosa Gómez: backing vocals, vocals; Rosario Heredia: backing vocals, vocals; Tomasa ‘La Macanita’: vocals.   ARPAORA: the first flamenco harp record in the history of music With the presentation of the EP at the World Music Festival in Chicago in October 2024 and the presentation of the full album at the Jerez Flamenco Festival in 2025, Arpaora brings us, in addition to the first flamenco harp album, an innovative and absolutely original figure within the Flamenco Universe: the figure of the Arpaora, that is, the person who expresses flamenco through a harp. The album Arpaora becomes the first source and reference in the history of Flamenco music where the harp acquires a purely flamenco language, discourse and codes. Born in the cradle of flamenco art, Jerez de la Frontera, Ana Crismán delves into unexplored terrain and investigates the infinite sonority of the harp, bringing it into flamenco territory. Like precursors such as Paco de Lucía who enriched the expression of flamenco, Ana enables this instrument to express all the styles of this genre with the personality and the stamp of the harp. Crismán invites us to share her first debut album Arpaora, a journey of her own compositions that begins with a zambra and extends through the most representative flamenco styles, bringing us innovation and her own flamenco voice. The artist, who has created and developed self-taught techniques to turn the harp into an instrument of this genre, discovering its expressiveness and depth in its different forms, has captivated audiences at prestigious spanish and international festivals such as the World Music Festival in Chicago, the LA International Flamenco Festival and the Manhattan Repertory Theatre in New York, as well as at international festivals in France, Belgium, Italy and the UK. In 2025 she presents her album Arpaora in Spain and prepares her international tour, taking her unique flamenco harp sound to stages all over the world. Ana Crismán, who has collaborated with flamenco and jazz legends such as Miguel Poveda and Jorge Pardo, is redefining flamenco and expanding the role of the harp in modern music.
