About
Their music is ethereal, stripped-down, and off the beaten path: “a fishing trap like a net floating in warm water and the play of light and shadow, at the crossroads of several continents” (24 heures, 2023). It draws inspiration from the roots of the Mascarene blues—which smells of salt and earth—and the Creole hues of the Indian Ocean, with hints of séga and maloya, underpinned by a touch of soul. Carried by Yannick Nanette’s heady, piercing voice and Thierry Jaccard’s sensitive, incisive guitar playing, the duo—founded in 2013 and having opened for artists such as Johnny Halliday and Ben Harper—exhibits a touching chemistry forged by years of touring and live performances.
The activity takes place in all weather conditions, unless safety is compromised
