Bigre ! 20 musiciens sur scène en concert au C2

In 15 years, with 8 albums and a host of high-profile collaborations (Cynthia Abraham, Célia Kameni, Hawa, Sarah Mikovski, Juan Rozoff, Tété, Rover, Thomas Dutronc, etc.), big band Bigre ! has established its style by exploring the many facets of a music that is playful, powerful and jubilant.

Lovers of composite sounds, Félicien Bouchot and his bandmates are advocates of eclectic music and contemporary writing that's constantly on the move.

In their hands, jazz constantly finds new resonances, and improvisation sways to and fro on fluctuating rhythms, bouncing off rich, motley arrangements that vibrate to the sounds of the world.

Bigre! breaks free of all musical boundaries, rubbing elbows with afrobeat from Lagos and ethio-jazz from Addis Ababa, with Balkan melodies and contemporary polyrhythms.

It's this no-holds-barred attitude that has taken Bigre! from Jazz à Vienne to the Francofolies de la Rochelle, via the most prestigious concert halls such as the Olympia and the Salle Pleyel...
