Aâma proposed by Jazz à Vel'a to
Born from the meeting between guitarist Bertrand Maïlar and singer Emma Prat, Aâma was born in Lille in 2023, joined by Sami Foukani-Descamps on double bass, Julien Girard on piano and Xavier Pernet on drums and percussion. Influenced by musicians from various backgrounds (Anne Paceo, Lionel Loueke, Carla Bley...) as well as popular music from Chad and Lebanon, the quintet offers a jazz open to traditional music, song and sound experimentation.
Solar and hypnotic, alchemical and shamanic, the quintet explores the frontiers of jazz and combines oriental melodies with the sounds of Central Africa. Based on instrumental and vocal flights and a hint of progressive rock, Aâma ('global', 'common') makes her own playground, placing sharing, emotional engagement and improvisation at the center of her creative process.
