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, 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.

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, 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.

Sorry, this entry is only available in FR.Le trio auvergnat Muddy Gurdy révèlera "No Border" son 5e album au format LP double vinyle, à l'occasion de sa sortie le 05 décembre 2025 chez Buda Musique / Socadisc. "'No Border', anthologie des trois albums de notre trio, qui a été fondé par Marc Glomeau. A l'heure où partout dans le monde on constate un triste repli sur soi, Muddy Gurdy créé des ponts entre différentes cultures fortes et ancrées, en tissant des liens entre musiciens traditionnels français et américains. Nous remercions Gilles Fruchaux, Buda Musique de nous faire un si beau cadeau avec la sortie de ce double vinyl. Nous dédions cette sortie à Marc Glomeau, à très vite sur scène !" Tia Gouttebel Musiciens : Tia Gouttebel (chants, guitare, compositions, arrangements, choeurs) ; Gilles Chabenat : (vielle à roue) ; Marc Glomeau (percussions, choeurs) ; Fabrice Bony (percussions, choeurs) Artistes invités : Cedric Burnside, Face A ; Pat Thomas, Face A ; Cameron Kimbrough, Face A ; Sharde Thomas, Face B ; Guillaume Vargoz, Face B ; Maxence Latrémolière, Faces B et C ; Ruben Moreno, Face C ; The Broussard Sisters, Face D ; Jeffery Broussard, Face D ; Big Chief Juan Pardo, Face D.   NOTE D’INTENTION Le double vinyle de Muddy Gurdy célèbre 10 ans d’aventures, de voyages et de rencontres, à partir du rêve un peu fou du percussionniste et directeur artistique de l’association Chantilly Negra, Marc Glomeau : construire un pont entre le Blues du Nord Mississippi et les musiques traditionnelles d’Auvergne.Le trio a inventé un écrin sonore unique, porté par l’idée que les musiques populaires du monde entier brûlent du même désir impérieux d’exprimer la beauté, parfois tragique, du quotidien.Après 3 albums qui résonnent comme autant d’étapes d’une quête initiatique, Muddy Gurdy poursuit aujourd’hui sa route avec, plus que jamais, la volonté du partage. « No Border » résume à lui seul cette idée de tisser des liens entre les cultures, la terre et les hommes, les continents. C’est un voyage de France jusque dans le Mississippi, puis un retour à la maison, avec « Homecoming » enregistré en Auvergne. Le dernier album « Seven », capté en Louisiane, est dédié à Marc Glomeau, disparu quelques mois plus tôt. Sa compagne, chanteuse et guitariste du groupe, Tia Gouttebel décide de poursuivre ce projet si singulier toujours avec Gilles Chabenat à la vielle à roue et maintenant avec Fabrice Bony aux percussions. Chaque enregistrement se passe sur le terrain, hors des studios mais dans des lieux reliés à la culture locale, à l’histoire, à la ruralité, telles des cartes postales sonores, le groupe emmène l’auditeur sur ses mélanges créatifs avec leurs invités (Cedric Burnside, Sharde Thomas dans le Mississippi, les français Louis Jacques, Maxence Latrémolière, chanteur de briolage, en Auvergne puis en Louisiane, les chanteuses de Jurés les Broussard sisters, le chef indien Juan Pardo, le jeune prodige du zydeco Ruben Moreno ou encore 40 enfants d’une école en immersion...). C’est grâce au fabuleux label Buda Musique que ce double Lp anthologie voit le jour. Le trio sera en tournée pour présenter ce florilèges de titres, des reprises réarrangées (de Sam Cooke, Billie Holliday, JB Lenoir) et des compositions originales, avec l’énergie et l’inventivité qui font de chaque concert un moment unique.  

TRAM (formerly known as Tram des Balkans) will unveil “Alligator”, its 7th album, on its release, February 27, 2026, on Les Entêtés / L'Autre Distribution. This opus will be presented on Thursday, March 19, 2026, on the stage of Studio de L'Ermitage (Paris) during an exceptional launch concert. The new single ‘L’encendido’ will be available on all platforms from the end of January 2026. For 25 years, TRAM has been forging a singular musical identity through ten original productions, six albums, and more than 1,200 live performances. The five musician-vocalists continue to explore and reinvent a wide range of musical traditions — from Central European and klezmer influences to Nordic folk and the polyrhythms of Reunion Island. What truly defines the band is the strong bond uniting its members and their shared spirit of joyful discovery. The group’s signature pop’n trad energy remains as vibrant as ever, now enriched at times with a bold touch of rock. TRAM consists of: Vincent Gaffet: vocals, accordion, Jew's harp, harmonica Vincent Westphal: vocals, clarinet, bass clarinet Diego Meymarian: vocals, violin, cittern, banjo, mandolin Mathieu Cervera: drums, percussion, vocals Nicolas Canavaggia: double bass, electric bass, vocals   THE STORY(IES) OF AN ALBUM : the Genesis Alligator tells the story of a renewal and a slow maturation for the group. On the previous project, En cavale (created in 2022 and still on tour), TRAM invited singer Mélissa Zantman to join them on an intimate, acoustic repertoire largely focused on traditional tunes and Central European polyphonies. For the next creation, the band chose to embrace contrast and take their time: two years spent exploring new paths and once again letting themselves be carried by the influences and ideas brought in by each of the musicians. It was also about moving past the group’s 25-year milestone without slipping into nostalgia or self-celebration, yet without denying the path that brought them here. The result is an album shaped by a rich variety of textures and voices, driven at full tilt by a band always ready to make boundaries dance. A fully embraced pop’n trad style, a playful and warm music - always accessible, yet never giving in to ease or complacency.

Victoria Alexanyan will unveil “Vishap”, her new album, on its release, February 06, 2026 (digital, CD and vinyl), on Musiques en balade/ InOuïe Distribution. This opus will be presented on Thursday, February 18, 2026, on the stage of Le 360 (Paris) during an exceptional launch concert. The single “Désordre nouveau” is already available on all platforms. When Victoria Alexanyan decided to leave her native Armenia to settle in France, she never imagined that it would be such a powerful revelation of the ancestral culture that lived within her. Through her music, she evokes not only Armenia's turbulent history, transforming anger into poetry, but also her sensitive relationship with the world, imbued with a love of freedom and universality. Her compositions, both personal and political, are marked by a profound rebellion against injustice, which she expresses with particular delicacy. In her first album with a quintet, “Vishap” (dragon), she awakens this mythical and ambiguous creature that haunts the Armenian imagination. Buried under rocks and lakes, it carries an ancient and immutable memory. Vishap thus becomes a song, an incantation carried by the winds of the Armenian mountains. The music winds its way between mystery and bursts of energy, imbued with a feminine and rebellious spirit. Complex meters, improvisations, and modal influences intertwine, giving birth to an untameable soundscape, much like the dragon itself. Line-up: Victoria Alexanyan (vocals, composition) Amin Al Aiedy (oud, nay, co-composition) Vincent Forestier (piano, co-composition) Yann Phayphet (double bass) Matheo Ciesla (drums,backing vocals)   Victoria Alexanyan biography: Born in Armenia in 1995 and a graduate of the Yerevan State Conservatory, she was introduced to jazz by pianist Vahagn Hayrapetyan, mentor to Tigran Hamasyan. Passionate about the French language and music, she moved to France in 2018 to continue her studies at the Lyon Conservatory. There, she immersed herself in various artistic projects, ranging from jazz to French chanson, not to mention traditional Armenian music. Victoria created her own project in 2020, which was warmly received at several festivals, leading to a first tour in Armenia in 2022. In 2023, Victoria won second prize in the Crest Jazz Vocal competition. In early 2025, she was awarded a scholarship from Adami and Jazz Sous Les Pommiers, which enabled her to be mentored by vocalist Leïla Martial. This encounter opened a new chapter in her artistic life. In September 2025, Victoria was selected as a Women in Jazz laureate by Anne Paceo, Les Gémeaux (Scène Nationale) & Jazz Sous Les Pommiers. Alongside music, Victoria nurtures her passion for theater. She trained at the Sandra-Romond School of Breathing in Paris. Today, she collaborates with “T.A.M.A. Paris” and Cours Myriade in Lyon, where she writes and directs her first play, “Le monde s'est bouché les oreilles” (The world has covered its ears).

Cumbia Chicharra will unveil “Quinto Mundo”, their fifth album, on its release, December 12, 2025 (digital, CD, vinyl) on Music Box Publishing / L'Autre Distribution. This opus will be presented on Friday, January 9, 2026, on the stage of Studio de L'Ermitage (Paris) during an exceptional launch concert. The single ‘Sueño de Domingo’ is already available on all platforms. Cumbia Chicharra (France/Chile) fervently spreads cumbia in its own way: powerful, adventurous, sensitive, and generous. They come in many styles: cumbia and traditional South American, plena, afrobeat, dub, funk, hip hop, Balkan, electro... This fusion becomes a joyous, explosive sound always balanced by the pulse of cumbia rhythm. In just five albums, this band of eight musicians has become one of the leading families of Afro-Latin music in Europe. Cumbia Chicharra is composed of: Pati Gajardo: vocals Romain Davidico: vocals, trombone César Bouteau: congas, tumba, tambor alegre Olivier Boyer: vocals, guira, campanas, shekere, cymbals Maxime Marachélian: drums, timbales Benjamin Charras: bass, guitar Sébastien Ruiz Levy: flugelhorn, cornet François Escojido: keyboards, accordion After more than 15 years spent between stages and recording studios, Cumbia Chicharra presents its fifth album, "Quinto Mundo", this autumn 2025. Its eight musicians form a loyal team that indulges in the luxury of playing what they like, here and now. Recorded without artifice near Marseille, performed live, mixed on location collectively, thanks to the magicians of Studio K, this album features eight new compositions and a trance version of Simon Diaz's famous "Tonada de luna llena". Quinto Mundo is a fifth world, a musical planet that Cumbia Chicharra sought to evoke, a maelstrom of many different styles and influences. A world on the edge of dreams (Sueño de Domingo, Yacumama), imbued with poetry and contemplation (Tonada de luna llena). Quinto Mundo is a shared space, woven from interactions and small steps (El gusto, Lunatica, Le train de Toulouse), with struggles and determination (El estallido), and love in motion (Esa manera, La chica que no te deja dormir). In this fifth musical world, it's natural to hear, in a wave of Colombian ternary percussion, a captivating sound of oriental synthesizer (Tonada de luna llena), or to experience how afro-beat resonates all the way to the barricades of Chile (El estallido), how a cumbia accordion paying homage to Colombian maestros and maestras (El gusto) can evoke the taste of the streets of Marseille, or how a psychedelic cha-cha-cha (La chica que no te deja dormir) can take us to the borders of Jamaica and delirium... "Viejo me voy, ya te quiero tanto" (Lunatica). Never sit still and keep moving, Cumbia Chicharra cannot act otherwise. Quinto Mundo: a dancing planet, a world that resolves its paradoxes, and that finally reveals itself in a large family of sounds, this is what Cumbia Chicharra wanted to offer in its 5th album.

His new album, ZEF, continues this musical adventure. Alongside his faithful crew, he invites a number of prestigious guests: Bernardo Sandoval, Serge Lopez, Cuarteto Taf, Guillaume Lopez, Pablo Fagundes, and the string quartet Les Impromptueuses.

Saodaj is the image of a plural, vast, infinite country: Reunion. A music in love with Maloya, emancipated and wandering. In Creole, in French, their lyrics rise up and are indignant, seeking beauty in the darkness of the world. Saodaj has been forging its path for a decade between tradition and modernity, where the alternative rock of saturated strings is one with percussive polyrhythms.

Le Vent du Nord, the internationally renowned Quebec quintet, has just successfully completed its special 20th anniversary tour and is back with its 13th album, ‘Voisinages’, which will be released on 10/10/2025 in digital format (worldwide). The album ‘Voisinages’ is available for pre-order on all platforms. Their first single/music video, ‘Sur le pont,’ is already available. The new album explores the universal theme of Voisinages (neighbourhoods), a subject that encompasses various interpretations of neighbours and connections. There is the closeness between musical neighbours such as the Irish, Scots, Acadians and Americans who have all enriched Québec’s repertoire. Then there are those neighbours with whom we share our rivers and streams, those who bear witness to history – battles won or lost,  wrongdoings, losses, friendships, and above all, love. Le Vent du Nord, a creative group performing French songs and World Music, is composed of : - André (Dédé) Gagné: vocals, bouzouki and guitar - Nicolas Boulerice: vocals, piano, hurdy-gurdy and bells - André Brunet: violin, footwork and vocals - Réjean Brunet: bass, diatonic accordion, piano, bombarde and vocals - Olivier Demers: violin, footwork, mandolin, guitar, bass tom, bass drum and vocals With the release of their 13th album, entitled ‘’Voisinages’’ and available on 10 October, Le Vent du Nord tackles the theme of neighbourhoods, a universal source of inspiration. In particular, musical neighbourhoods, which have always enriched their repertoire: those of the Irish, Scots, Americans and Acadians, to name but a few. They are also the neighbourhoods with our rivers and streams, witnesses to history: battles won or lost, abuses, losses, friendships and, above all, loves. ‘Throughout the album, we wanted to explore the idea of neighbourhood from every angle, but we also thought of it as a call for openness and reconciliation. It's an invitation to create happy neighbourhoods,’ explains Nicolas Boulerice. ‘We started this movement on Territoires, and now we're focusing more on the people who live there.’ While ’’20 Printemps’’ was intended to be an album of celebration and joy, for ‘’Voisinages’’, the band allowed themselves a few melancholic ballads. "There are also more literary songs, while still keeping one foot in tradition. With the arrival of André Gagné, who has his own unique style and voice, it took us somewhere else and made us want to try new things and challenge ourselves. As a result, we are particularly proud of this album, which was created in the joy of creation, renewed, even after 23 years of touring," adds Nicolas Boulerice.

Fabienne Magnant will unveil “Cordas Sensíveis / Cordes Sensibles”, her fifth album, on its CD release, November 07, 2025, on Guit'Art Productions / Music Box Publishing / InOuïe Distribution. This opus will be presented on Thursday, December 4, 2025, on the stage of Les 2 Pianos (Paris) during an exceptional launch concert. ‘’This fifth album is a testament to several years of travels and artistic inspiration. Once again, I play my three guitars (classical/Brazilian guitar, flamenco guitar, and viola caipira) as I did on my previous album, La Trinidad (2011), but this time solo or with other musicians ranging from a duo to a quartet. The pieces featured are masterpieces from the classical repertoire, flamenco solos arrangements of gems from Brazilian popular music on my viola caipira, and personal compositions with my guitars accompanied by percussion, bass and double bass, rabeca, bass clarinet, and poetic vocals. This melting pot, reflecting my many musical passions, leaves plenty of room for sharing with other musicians and poets, but without forgetting the intimacy that instrumental solos can offer, which is so dear to me. Let's hope that this album, “Cordes Sensibles”, will bring together listeners of different sensibilities around a single voice: that of music!’’ Fabienne Magnant On this new album, Fabienne Magnant (classical/ Brazilian guitar, flamenco guitar and viola caïpira) is accompanied by: - Dominique Muzeau (bass and electro-acoustic bass), - Akiko Horii (percussion) - Samuel Thézé (bass clarinet) - François Kokelaere (percussion, vocals, poetry), - Consuelo De Paula (vocals and poetry) - Ricardo Vignini (viola caïpira) - Andre Rass (percussion), - Pedro Macedo (double bass) - Bruno Menegatti (rabeca) Fabienne Magnant is a French guitarist, composer, and teacher who has been passionate about classical guitar since childhood. Trained by great masters such as Olivier Chassain and Roland Dyens, she has distinguished herself with an international career marked by diverse musical exploration. At the age of 25, after graduating from conservatory, she left for Brazil, where she met influential musicians, notably guitarist Baden Powell. This stay inspired her to compose and explore new musical horizons. Her albums, such as Le sens des sens (2003), are the fruit of her travels and influences, particularly in northeastern Brazil; she became a figure in Brazilian music with her instrument of choice, the viola caïpira. Her musical curiosity also led her to explore flamenco guitar in Andalusia, incorporating this influence into her work. Fabienne Magnant has released five albums, including “La Trinidad” in 2011, and her new opus, released on all platforms in May 2025, “Cordas sensiveis/Cordes Sensibles” on Music Box Publishing, and on InOuïe Distribution from November 7, 2025, in physical stores. She is regularly praised by the specialist press. In 2018 and 2019, she was listed in the top 10 traditional Brazilian musicians by the São Paulo newspaper Sertaopaulistano. She teaches classical and Latin guitar (as a tenured professor of artistic education) at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Départemental d'Evry and performs regularly in concerts in Europe and Brazil. Her compositions are published by Les Productions d'Oz (sheet music) and Music Bo Publishing (in the film and documentary music catalog). She collaborates with many renowned artists (Zé Luis Nascimento, Maria Inès Guimarães, Akiko Horii, François Kokelaere, Consuelo de Paula, Ricardo Vignini, Andre Rass, Pedro Macedo, etc.).
