Youn KammYann Le CorreTimothée Le BourJérôme Kerihuel

With a solid background acquired at the Fest Noz festi-vals, these four bandmates lay out their vision of trance with danceable music open to the world ; Youn Kamm gives his trumpet-playing an eastern flair, from Lebanon and Turkey. Yann Le Corre has imbued his playing with Brazilian forrò. Jérôme Kerihuel has perfected his per-cussion technique in India. As for Timothée Le Bour, his saxophone resonates like a Romanian taragot.

With circle dancing at its core, popular world music as its horizon, and improvisation as its line of flight, ‘Ndiaz comes out with hybrid music that knows no borders, one that must have sought elsewhere to find its means for taking root here.

With the album Son’Rod, the band extends its musical refinement further into new regions of feeling with wi-der-ranging compositions, intense lights, twirling sounds, tribal spirits, urban energy ... a beautiful way get hopping!

The record is an anthem to shaking up geography! It pays tribute to constantly-moving musicians who easily bloom in different musical contexts.

Their live act clears out a space for dancing, fed with the musicians’ desire to keep it spreading, to nuance it, sublimate it, to thereby evoke a need in the listeners to follow the path ... to trace its route.

Youn Kammtrumpet, bugle, saxhornA true musical renaissance man, trance music was first instilled in him by dancing on Saturday evenings to Pevar Den and Alambig Electrik.
