Composer

Flûtiste

Virtuoso flutist and Guianese explorer Yann Cléry breaks with convention by fusing jazz, hip-hop and traditional music. A true sound alchemist, he turns his instrument into a polyphonic orchestra through the "flûte-box" technique and the Yann Solo project, an Afrofuturist performance in which electronic loops and organic grooves intertwine in real time. An artist devoted to transmission, he places sharing at the heart of his residency in Mayenne, bringing together his urban universe, the flutists of the département and the Big Band Sud Mayenne in a unique encounter that produces a vibrant, cross-cultural collective creation.

Yann & Friends

Le Quarante

The An Tan Neg Marron project has its roots in the 1970s in French Guiana. A collective of musicians came together and would give birth to the renowned band Nèg Marron, with Elie Stephenson at its forefront, his pen already remarkably sharp. In their own way, they tell the epic of the Nèg Marrons, those great figures who embody the history of French Guiana through characters such as Copena and Boni. Wanting to carry these struggles of the past into the present fight for a strong Guianese identity, these men created an innovative, new, modern, and beautiful music. Fifty years later, Elie Stephenson wishes to pass this torch on to the artist Yann Cléry.
