Etenesh Wassié

Etenesh Wassié est une aventurière dotée d’une personnalité hors norme. Elle découvre très tôt qu’elle a une voix et commence sa carrière à 20 ans au début des années 90 à Addis-Abeba dans des azmaribèts, ces cabarets qui perpétuent la tradition chantée d'improvisations riches en double sens. En Éthiopie, la tradition azmari, portée par ces "griots" d’Afrique de l’Est, est très forte et s’inscrit dans le quotidien. Etenesh a su s’y imposer, avec ses costumes trois pièces, son humour et son sens de la blague bien affûtée, gagnant une place à part dans ce milieu. Invitée par plusieurs musiciens d’Addis, elle collabore sur scène ou sur disque et se fait de plus en plus remarquer par la scène musicale éthiopienne.
Elle est repérée par Francis Falceto, directeur de la collection discographiques des Éthiopiques qui l’invite sur quelques disques. Sa musique tombe alors dans l’oreille du Tigre des platanes qui l’invite à tourner avec eux. Démarre alors un nouveau cycle pour Etenesh qui commence à développer une carrière internationale. Elle tourne de 2007 à 2010 en France et en Europe avec le Tigre des Platanes, puis en duo ou en trio avec Mathieu Sourisseau. Elle entame en 2024 un nouveau récit parallèle avec Paolo Angéli.

Biography
Eela Laitinen

Eela Laitinen

© Michel Zadrozynski
Eela Laitinen (1991) is a Finnish artist who has lived in Occitanie for ten years. Her practice is rooted in a sensitive cartographic approach that explores the deep links between territory, nature and biodiversity. Inspired by the landscapes, flora and fauna of the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, her works combine contemporary art and ecological sensitivity, evoking spaces where geographical reality is in dialogue with the imaginary. Her creations, often shrouded in mystery, evoke enchanted landscapes populated by raging torrents and forests where myths and dreamlike creatures come to life.
Deeply involved in local cultural dynamics, Eela leads participatory workshops and performances in which local residents are invited to contribute to the collective creation, weaving a network of sensitive experiences. This relational dimension of her art highlights the richness of personal histories and their connection to the territory, offering a renewed exploration of our bond with nature.

The French pianist Christine Wodrascka discovered improvised music at the age of twenty. Fascinated by the artistic freedom and expressiveness offered by this music of the moment, she specialised in free improvisation. She has been performing on French and European stages for some thirty years and has played with emblematic figures of improvised music such as Fred Frith, Daunik Lazro, Joëlle Léandre, Evan Parker, Fred Van Hove, Dennis Charles...

Daniel Scalliet

Daniel Scalliet

Daniel Webster Scalliet came to the stage through the door of the chansonnier, a little obliquely, but he keeps the frontality of the public bawler. From an American mother and a French father, he affectionates Anglo-Saxon songs and French poetry. Since 2006, he has been exploring, as a songwriter, a rather rocky territory, hybrid folk in its origin, and resolutely blues in its structure. Notable within the bands Project Vertigo, The Rainbones, Facteur Sauvage and Mocking Dead Bird. His origins range from Leonard Cohen to Nick Cave, via Pablo Neruda and Gil Scott-Heron.
Mathieu Werchowski

A gypsy escaped from the folklore, Mathieu Werchowski is this acrobat dancing on the half-erased staves of improvisation.
Armed with a violin or a viola, he impresses with the fluidity of his playing and the cycles he draws in the manner of the minimalists, creating an opera of screeching, rubbing and vibrations.
Equipped with a Nagra, microphones and machines, he gives life to a world that looks like a live performance or a documentary, a work that was awarded the SCAM radio discovery prize.
Equipped with a pair of scissors, he creates deviant images that he exhibits under the name Serial Cutter.
Accompanied by Fanny Baxter, he invents and coordinates Tourisme Imaginaire, a territorial project of a new kind of show tour.

Mathieu Sourisseau

Mathieu Sourisseau

© Céline Blanché
As a bassist and guitarist, Mathieu Sourisseau has always placed encounters and dialogue with different cultures and musical genres at the heart of his musical practice. He pays particular attention to voices, whether in traditional music, spoken word or blues.
After meeting Ethiopian singer Etenesh Wassié first through Le Tigre des Platanes (Zéraf, Buda Musique) and then as a duo (Belo Belo, Buda Musique), Mathieu Sourisseau was recognised for his distinctive bass playing and the sincerity of his musical commitment. In 2012, he invited the Chicago-based drummer Hamid Drake to join their duo, completing the fundamental triangle linking Europe, Africa and America.
In 2016, he invited cellist Julie Läderach to collaborate on a new project (Yene Alem, Buda Musique), and since 2018, the duo has continued to explore Ethiopian music with double bassist Sébastien Bacquias.
Mathieu Sourisseau took part in 'The Bridge', an improvised music exchange between France and Chicago. Chicago tour 2014. Tours in France in 2016 and 2019. It was in this context that he met American rapper Mike Ladd and proposed a collaboration. In 2019, the Reverse Winchester duo was formed, exploring minimalist folk-blues-noise in the simplest formation of amplified acoustic guitar and vocals (two albums on Mr Morezon).
In 2015, he formed the group Facteur Sauvage with Daniel Scalliet (vocals), Laurent Paris (drums) and himself.

Florian Nastorg

Florian Nastorg

© Alban Jacques
Since 1984, Florian has been playing, improvising and composing for music, theatre and dance, mainly on bass, baritone and alto saxophones.
He participates in Bridge, an improvised music exchange programme between France and Chicago.
His music is inhabited by the pebbles of the limestone plateau of Quercy, by the fireworks of free jazz, by the tidal wave of deliberately acoustic or richly electrified music, by orchestras of learned music and by a wealth of traditional music from Rouergue to Indonesia.

Marc Maffiolo

Marc Maffiolo

© Maxime Delporte
He encountered saxophones first through sitting in a workshop repairing them for six years in the Grenoble region. During this period, he joined Micromégas, an amateur musical practice group directed by pianist François Raulin of the La Forge collective. Here he discovered improvisation in writing and all other forms of playing, meeting musicians such as Emmanuel Scarpa, Wolgang Puschnig, Marc Ducret, Christophe Monniot... A discovery that made him want to give a much more important place to musical practice.
Today, he lives in Toulouse. A "full-time" musician, he plays mainly bass saxophone (sometimes tenor). His main focus is the sounds of the instrument and their multiple facets, their voices.

Nicolas Lafourest

Nicolas Lafourest

© Cyril Moya
A self-taught guitarist, Nicolas Lafourest is a musician with a singular and instinctive instrumental practice, with raw, harsh and impulsive energy. An intimate and direct way of playing where the intentions oscillate between sentimental atmospheres, experimental deconstructions and broken, distorted refrains. A music with repetitive, noisy and melodic motifs that constantly mix tension and fragility, softness and roughness.
Nicolas Lafourest currently plays in Granit Lip (with Marc Démereau), Xibipíío (with Betty Hovette), solo Forêt, The And, Cannibales & Vahinés, Coddiwomple (G.W. Sok, O.Mellano) and La Cachette (with the Baro d'evel company)...
