A virtuoso accordionist, Christophe Lampidecchia has the tireless energy of a musette musician and the science of jazz. This double culture, in the pure line of Gus Viseur, opens the world to him and with the Argentinian percussionist Minino Garaÿ, he integrates the rhythms of the South. His music breathes the joy of sharing and carries the audience in an intoxicating whirlwind.

Facing the 360° space that spreads out at the foot of the Baux-de-Provence, at the hour when the sun falls into the sea, the meeting of the pianist Benjamin Faugloire and the producer French 79 promises to be atmospheric. It consecrates the crossing of two approaches: deep science of harmony and richness of the acoustic nuances of the piano on the one hand, excellence of the repetitive constructions and infinity of the digital treatments on the other. A back and forth between two poles of creation, a pair of elements of musical languages. The result draws a large panorama running from ambient to dance floor and from acoustic to synthetic.
