Clarinetist

This fantastic Afro-Cuban collective with its relentless groove brings together seven musicians who have graced the finest stages in Europe and are considered among the most brilliant and acclaimed of their generation. Their music is rich, innovative, and imbued with a terribly contagious energy.

A committee, a carousel: in two words, we grasp the energy that will sweep us away. El Comité refers to a joyful ensemble led by seven Cuban musicians: a virtuoso pianist, two horn players with syncopated phrasing, a rhythm section with an implacable groove, and, for this occasion, the exceptional presence of singer and violinist Yilian Canizares. Technically impeccable, El Comité's playing confirms an old adage: music enters every Cuban through the pores of their skin. The collective is intoxicating, guided by the common thread of virtuosity and openness to all encounters. In the opening act, the prayers of La Litanie des Cimes, led by Clément Janinet and his two companions, become powerful little pagan hymns imbued with the art of the griots thanks to the presence of Mah Damba, one of Mali's greatest singers.
