In their 6 years of existence, Akalé Wubé have never stopped widening the canvas onto which they lay their music, which keeps becoming richer and deeper just like the their primary source of inspiration: the popular Ethiopian repertoire of the 60s and 70s. The band started off covering music from the “Ethiopiques” series, after which they immersed themselves deeper into Ethiopian music, all the while multiplying their collaborations with musicians and dancers from Ethiopia, Africa and Europe. Slowly but surely, clocking in at around 200 concerts in Europe, Asia and Africa, the band has become one of the world’s leading ambassadors of Ethiopian groove.

Band members are :

Etienne de la Sayette: tenor & baritone saxophone, bansuri flute, washint
Paul Bouclier: trumpet, percussions, krar
Loïc Réchard: guitar
Oliver Degabriele: electric bass
David Georgelet: drums
Pierre Dachery: sound

Formé à l’été 2013 , le groupe des Jamwalkers possède un album et de nombreux concerts à son actif. Distillant leur Delta-Pshychoblues, leurs influences diverses, leurs rythmes effrénés ainsi que leur fougue sur scène, ils ne laissent personne indifférent. Les Jamwalkers ont connu diverses formations. Tout d’abord duo acoustique puis trio avec deux guitares/voix et batterie, ils ont finalement trouvé un équilibre résolument plus électrique, plus rock grâce à leur nouvelle formule : le power-trio.
