Pixvae

In the context of the conference Footprints Europe, which is about a more sustainable and inclusive live music system, we present two double concerts featuring promising European bands. On Wednesday 8 March we welcome the Amalia Umeda Quartet and the Teis Semey Quintet. Performing on Thursday 9 March are the Liv Andrea Hauge Trio and the group Pixvae.

The seven-piece ensemble Pixvae was formed in Lyon’s musical underground. It represents the trans-continental odyssey of saxophonist, keyboardist and band leader Romain Dugelay. At the heart of his new music is the currulao, the Afro-Colombian traditional music. The characteristic marimba will be played by Colombian percussionist Juan Carlos Arrechea.
