Thomas, Jean-luc & Gab Faure
Gwiad
The talent of Jean-Luc Thomas and Gab Faure, the seemingly simple beauty of their music, the woodwinds of the flute and violin from which it emanates, the breathing and the silence, the ability of these two to tell stories. The images they conjure up of festivities and dances, but also of sadness and melancholy. They infuse traditional folk tunes with accents and rhythms gleaned from their long journeys. Ireland, Brazil, the Balkans, Niger, India... the five continents and the cultures of their land brothers inspire them. Their duo adventure revisits the themes of dance at every opportunity, with freedom, fantasy, mutual listening, responsiveness, variations and improvisations. The compositions that emerge from their exchanges are sure to become traditional one day.
