Their recording career took off with 1988's groundbreaking Tears of Joy. Now, 13 albums later, they have toured the world incessantly as a duo, appearing at times alongside Miles Davis, Count Basie, George Benson, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and many others. They have long been regarded by musicians and critics as the standard for an improvising musical duo. Their music spans Duke Ellington, the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix--rock, pop, jazz, gospel, blues, folk, world and classical--classics and originals, but inevitably finally just sounds like Tuck & Patti. Transcending categorization, Tuck & Patti are known for individual virtuosity in service of the greater goal of expressing love, hope and gratitude through their musical collaboration. SEKOU KORA TRIO (Except France & in cooperation with OCLOCK for Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium) SEKOU KOUYATE - vocals / kora ETIENNE KERMARC - el. bass WENDLAVIM ZABSONRE' - drums Born in Guinea and known as the master of the Kora which he makes resonate in a modern way, Sékou Kouyaté expresses his art through this traditional instrument. At twelve, he adapted his kora by electrifying it and experimenting with fast riffs and distortions, inspired by funk and jazz. Offering an instant, spontaneous and vibrant creation, imbued with the Mandingo sounds of the Kora and all the influences of these three heterogeneous musicians with rich backgrounds of encounters. The multi-awarded Kouyate's music is rooted in his West African traditions and influenced by the contemporary Blues, Soul, Funk and Jazz, that has also been his early inspirations. Sekou Kouyate solo album SABARU, One World Records 2015, won the GOLD MEDAL GLOBAL MUSIC AWARDS 2015, and was selected for 'World Music Charts Europe Best 100 Albums 2016. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPEMyvfL0AM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oajFvar05IM in cooperation with BiLive Music Tours TOM IBARRA (Except France) TOM IBARRA - el. guitar LILIAN MILLE - trumpet JEFF MERCADIE' - tenor sax CLELYA ABRAHAM - keyboards NOE' BERNE - el. bass TAO EHRLICH - drums in cooperation with BiLive Music Tours MALTED MILK (Except France) In its current form, enhanced by the arrival of brilliant new elements, the continent's most fearsome soul band is a true war machine. Malted Milk recently celebrated its 20-year career in a Stereolux filled with fans over-excited by its electrifying repertoire propelled by its brass section. Born as a blues duo, as it grew up, Malted Milk gradually invested its spirit of the African American soul until it found a perfect alchemy in recent years. The band stands out from other European ensembles for its ability to escape the blues cover band syndrome through its creativity. It's a mixture of funk, brass riffs, slender guitars, nervous bass lines and organ growls ... enhanced by Arnaud's voice. A real bomb of the French soul funk blues scene!
