A captivating new figure on the contemporary jazz scene, Sélène Saint-Aimé explores the traditional repertoire of Louisiana, the West Indies and Reunion Island in this concert dedicated to creoleness.
A recent arrival on the musical scene, Sélène Saint-Aimé - singer, double bass player and composer - has already captivated many ears. Describing herself as "Afro-descendant", born of a Martinican father and a Franco-Ivorian mother, she has developed a cosmopolitan musical identity, marked as much by her roots as by her travels. The way she plays it, with its blend of swing, jazz - her preferred idiom - is adorned with heady Caribbean inflections and tends towards a world without frontiers. Her first two albums, Mare Undarum (2020) and Potomitan (2022), reveal an original universe full of poetic vibrations. Revisiting songs from Louisiana, the West Indies and Réunion, this concert takes her even deeper into the question of creolité.
