Louis Matute

Presented by Caramba Culture Live (L-R-V-22-216/218). Following a memorable, sold-out concert last January for the release of his album Dolce Vita, Louis Matute returns to the mythical stage of the New Morning on 18 November 2026. Having become one of the most inspiring figures on the European jazz scene, the Swiss guitarist draws the borders of an imaginary planet rooted between Europe and Latin America. Drawing from his roots (Honduras) and his travels (Brazil, Cuba), he shapes jazz that is free, incandescent, and deeply personal. His new album, Dolce Vita, resonates like a quest for identity: an inner journey between family memory and joyful resilience. It is on stage that this soundscape takes on its full dimension, carried by his Large Ensemble, a collective of rare coherence: Louis Matute (guitar), Shems Bendali (trumpet), Marta Mansilla (flute), Zacharie Ksyk (trumpet), Léon Phal (saxophone), Andrew Audiger (piano), Nathan Vandenbulcke (drums). At the heart of this collective power, Louis Matute's guitar traces a clear, poignant line, uniting energies in sensitive alchemy. Inhabited music, between organic groove and poetic flights. Do not miss this new rendezvous.
