Present from the very start, <strong>Elouan Le Couls<\/strong>, <strong>violinist<\/strong>, is the last of the band to have known the original recipe. His 4 strings to his bow, are outnumbered by the <strong>guitarist Camille Bossard<\/strong>\u2019 sixes.

As for <strong>Mathieu Message<\/strong>r, he is the band\u2019s <strong>bombarde<\/strong> player and shares his taste for reeds with <strong>Matthieu Folt\u00eate<\/strong> whose <strong>accordion<\/strong> is full of them!

Without any preconceived notions, the musical universe that is being built within the trio draws from archives, field recordings, and all the music that the three companions have access to. This energetic music generates interest from both music lovers and dance enthusiasts.<br>It is one of the most original dance trios of the moment! It brings together <strong>Thomas Badeau<\/strong>, <strong>clarinettist <\/strong>from Esquisse and the &#8220;Jeu \u00e0 la Nantaise&#8221; collective, <strong>Beno\u00eet Roblin<\/strong>, <strong>hurdy-gurdy<\/strong> player from Berry, and <strong>Julien Evain<\/strong>, <strong>accordionist<\/strong> from Vend\u00e9e. The repertoire alternates dances from the three regions. The sound is unique: a clarinet leading the dance and improvising, an electro hurdy-gurdy that is both melodic and percussive, and an accordion providing harmony and bass play.
