JAZZ CONCERT – MONSIEUR MÂLÂ

Hailing from Paris, Monsieur MÂLÂ is a combo made of 5 sought-after musicians with their own distinctive identities. Consisting of Swaéli Mbappé on bass (China Moses), Yoann Danier on drums (Mayra Andrade), Nicholas Vella on keys (Ibeyi), Balthazar Naturel on saxophone and Robin Antunes on violin and mandolin (Etienne Mbappé), the group transcends the borders between jazz, pop, world and urban music.

The group has created intrigue around their experimental, free-flowing sound, and crafted an album channeling a breadth of emotions, combining virtuosic musicianship with unconventional instrumentation to create a rich tapestry of sounds reflecting cosmopolitan Paris. The quintet is capable of telling stories by means of instrumental music, a balance of writing and improvisation, charisma and interaction, ruckus and tranquility but also groove, jubilation, elevation. ‘We are all on the same quest for plenitude.”
