World jazz concert as part of the "Jazz en Août" festival opening for Thomy & Co.

NAFAS means « breath » in literary Arabic. Vital breath, it is the force that nurtures, inspires and creates. Ahmad Compaoré, Fred Pichot and Sylvain Terminiello have imagined an eclectic and mixed music transcending cultures and social belonging. Between free jazz, fusion and world music, their repertoire travels along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea mixing oriental, afrobeat or klezmer influences, sustained by improvisation and spiced up with a touch of electro.

Ahmad Compaoré: drums, percussion
Fred Pichot: saxophones, flute, machines
Sylvain Terminiello: bass

Plates & drinks from 19:30.

FEE: 8€ per night / 20€ 3-day pass
