18:15 – 19:45 Les Kickeuses
20:00 – 22:00 Duo Laloy Le Tron
Les Kickeuses is a duo born from the wonderful meeting between Juliette Ferreira and Lolita Pariaud. Let yourself be carried away by their voices, the frenzied playing of the accordion and the joyful sound of the flutes, to the rhythm of the stompbox. The musical worlds of each of the musicians, who share a common classical heritage and a love of traditional European music and dance, have enabled them to develop a duo with a unique language and a distinctive aesthetic, full of finesse and energy. The influence of dance in their music allows them to offer a repertoire suited to intimate concerts, small gatherings and festivals alike. Discover their compositions and a few traditional songs rearranged with finesse on their first album, Radio Lambert!
It was undoubtedly written somewhere that Didier Laloy, a pupil of Bruno Le Tron at the age of 13, would one day play with him. With Tref (accompanied by Wim Claeys and Frédéric Malempré) and Les Samuraï (one of Europe’s finest accordion quintets), they have had the opportunity to prove that they are both giants of the diatonic accordion. But when they perform as a duo, the result is a perfect, balanced partnership that shares folk music at the height of its art. A few classics from the folk dance repertoire, of course, but a few surprises too!
