This winter 2022, the resort of Méribel “grooved” for 1 month to the rhythm of 4 evening concerts by 4 great French artists, the most prominent in the jazz world!

 

 

 

AGATHE IRACEMA, SINGER, AUTHOR AND COMPOSER OF FRANCO-BRAZILIAN JAZZ

 

Agathe Iracema has music in her skin, with her soft and deep tone of voice, freshness and spontaneity were there! Due to the profession of her father, Brazilian bassist Rubens Santana, she attended many concerts during her childhood.

 

Encouraged by Sheila Jordan, she created her first quartet at the age of 15. From then on, she developed a music influenced as much by Sarah Vaughan, or Cab Calloway, as Edith Piaf or Stevie Wonder...

 

 

 

CHROMATIK THE FRENCH JAZZ/HIP-HOP GROUP

 

Composed of 6 talented and explosive musicians as well as rapper Hi Levelz fresh out of the show "The Voice", the group seduces in an elegant and boosted way. This meeting of personalities gives us a great recipe that is both complete and structured, while letting each talent express itself. As during a jazz concert, each piece of Chromatik gives its moment to each artist for the listener to discover.

 

 

 

SINGER CELIA KAMENI AND HER PIANIST ALFIO ORIGLIO

 

Célia Kaméni and Alfio Origlio invite us on a journey by offering a recomposition of “pop and soul songs”. Timeless hits subtly reinterpreted by the most charismatic jazz singer of her generation. Reinterpretations of the songs of Grégory Porter, Stevie Wonder, U2, Seal without forgetting a moving metamorphosis of the indolent Blues of Jeanne Moreau. The arrangements are signed by the pianist Alfio Origlio. With Brice Berrerd on double bass and Zaza Desiderio on drums, the quartet takes us into its secret musical garden.

 

 

 

SLY JOHNSON

 

On stage, Sly Johnson is an exceptional "performer", who shows great generosity, embarking the spectators in his musical universe to the rhythm of an abrasive groove and rich music, at the crossroads of hip-hop and funky…

 

Present for 25 years on the French scene, Sly Johnson has multiplied identities. First MC / beatboxer of the "Saïan Supa Crew", with whom he recorded three albums rewarded with two gold records and a Victoire de la Musique, he took off solo. While chaining collaborations with artists such as Camille, Erik Truffaz, Oxmo Puccino, Raphael, Ayo, Lucky Peterson, China Moses or even Jacky Terrasson, he imposed himself as an essential soul singer from his first album 74, followed by The Mic Buddah in 2015.
