Tutor

Singer, composer and performer, Ayo is a rare artist with a smooth and powerful voice, capable of moving from the first notes. Between soul, folk and reggae, his warm music mixes influences African, European and AmericanAuthentic and luminous on stage, it offers a suspended moment, to be discovered or rediscovered in concert.

FLSG Duo – Fred Langlais & Sam Garcia

FLSG, it is the meeting of two virtuoso accordionists, Fred Langlais and Sam Garcia, united by a passion for jazz and improvisation. Each concert is a free, intense and unpredictable musical adventure. In 2024, they unveil "Recreation", a new album by 11 original compositions, between jazz and world music.

François Buffaud

A poet and singer with a unique career, he signs four acclaimed albums, including one awarded by Sacem.
On stage, surrounded by supportive musicians, he delivers sensitive, funny and touching songs, between tenderness and truth.

Dafne Kritharas

She deploys a voice that is both wild and of rare finesse, which carries us into a mystical, sensitive and intensely vibrant universe. Self-taught, she draws on her Greek and French roots to compose songs at the crossroads of traditional music of Anatolia, jazz, rock and loan.

DJ Healer Selecta

DJ Healer Selecta, aka Yvan Serrano, brings Limoges and Nouvelle-Aquitaine to the world. Musician, producer, leader of Dustaphonics and founder of Reason for Being label, he revealed talents like Charlie winston ou Portico Quartet.

His style? A concentrate of analog groove, unifying and timeless. And always a nod to Limoges, its roots.

Altair

Discovered during the "Acoustic Club" evenings in Limoges created by Yvan Serrano, the duo Altaïr captivates with the finesse of its musical universe. Carried by the influences of Muse, Yann Tiersen and Ludovico Einaudi, Thibault Fonbeure (piano) and Pascal Coupez (saxophone) compose a repertoire between Classical Music and contemporary sounds.

BirdBox

Spotted between Auckland and London, BirdBøx is a revelation drunk French folk accents and a strong sonic identity. Their first album Dreamland immediately captivates with its vibrant energy, between vocal flights and chiseled arrangements. Special mention to their moving cover of Jordan Mackampa. BirdBøx creates music that is both refuge and manifesto, to be discovered without delay.

The Buttshakers

Ciara Thompson, a feline and charismatic singer, draws on her American roots to evoke an America wounded by racism, violence, and exclusion. But when everything goes dark, there remains the soul, incandescent, combative. On stage, the groove is raw, precise, inhabited: Voodoo guitars, liberating brass, organ and funk dance with chaos.
