Festival Musiqueyras - Friday, July 19, 2024

On the program for this Friday, July 19:

Fly by night 4.30pm / espace Guinguette
From one culture to another, from compositions made in Chambéry to traditional songs arranged in the Fly By Night style, these four multi-instrumentalist musicians will perform a spicy-flavored repertoire.
Embark on an acoustic voyage, with double bass, guitar, accordion, clarinet, violin and three harmonized voices...
From Greece to the UK, via South America, the USA and Eastern Europe, these musicians will take you on a true acoustic voyage. Close your eyes and set sail for other lands.
With a wealth of experience in a wide range of musical formations, he develops a nuanced style and leads the groove with his baton.

Les mécanos 6:00 pm / espace Guinguette
Bound together by a strong friendship, Les Mécanos have been surveying French and Occitan oral heritage since 2018, cultivating a shared desire to reappropriate regional repertoires from the musical universe of each of their ten members. The vocal polyphony derived from traditional music is opened up to contemporary music by the addition of percussion: Les Mécanos' instrumentarium is resolutely modern (bass drum, bass toms) and in line with the popular origins of the texts and melodies (misappropriated objects: flat keys, exhaust pipes, wheel rims...).
On stage, they open the doors to their workshop, where songs of work and struggle, love laments, political and religious satires, dance and drinking songs, all rearranged for ten voices and carried by the rhythm, rumbling and dancing, of the percussion. Their ten pairs of hands manipulate scrap metal and stretched skins to create a polyphonic, sincere and carefree sound.
Alongside this creative musical activity, the group considers it essential to get involved in mediation and cultural action projects. Indeed, our involvement in traditional music stems from oral and intergenerational transmission. In this way, the intersection of the two activities of dissemination and mediation feeds the Mécanos' daily questioning as to how our younger generations are reappropriating the customs, languages and other cultural traditions of the past, sometimes almost forgotten. The group is supported by the DRAC Auvergne Rhône-Alpes.

Fanfare classic breton 7:30pm / From the guinguette to the big top
A street band combining classical music and world grooves!

MC Sirop 8:45pm / Big Top
From the outset, MC Sirop has aspired to form a band with musicians from the jazz world. There's only one step from aspiration to realization: necessity. Bringing together old friends, the MC Sirop Quartet reinvents the MC repertoire with the culture of each of the protagonists. It's urban music, drawing on funk, soul, jazz, chanson, slam and, of course, hip-hop. The music here is built for the singer's words. And these words -à call for a tailor-made score, a biotope in which Sirop's words live in harmony. Whether it's the singer's compositions or those of the musicians who accompany him, the musical proposals are capped by the desire to serve a project that flouts genres.
"My music is crossbred, and so is my language, I love spicy food, picholines and mango."
A special place is given to these accomplices in the game with, notably, improvisation slots. The show achieves its particularity through the staging. The scenic sequence devised by the singer gives a dimension to the set, a breath of fresh air, and places this project in a more personal register in which a theatrical posture flourishes.
"A touching boy band," the audience might have heard.

Gabriel Saglio feat Lucia de Carvalho 10:15pm / Chapiteau
"After many years under the name of Les Vieilles Pies, Gabriel SAGLIO continues his journey. Once again, surrounded by his brilliant musicians, he traces his path as a curious singer. After exploring his encounter with Mandingo Africa on his previous album, Gabriel SAGLIO takes us by surprise this time, turning his attention to the music of Portuguese-speaking Africa. The powerful interpretation of this French singer with a distinctive voice meets influences from Cape Verde, Angola and Guinea Bissau, giving his group a unique sound at the crossroads of French chanson and World music.
The result is a warm, swaying concert with humanist lyrics.
Special guest >> Lucia DE CARVALHO (Singing/Percussion - ANGOLA)
"Lucia DE CARVALHO, who often questions diversity and crossbreeding, made a name for herself with the incredible documentary film "Kuzola - Le chant des racines". The film retraces the year-long creation of her latest album, created on the road between France, Brazil and Angola. It was as much a powerful musical curiosity as a need to reconnect with her origins and rediscover her essence as an artist, woman and citizen of the world.
A breath of sunny energy on stage..."
