Philippe Thomas & Mo’Zar + AKINROOTS / « La Jam de l’Agence Nina »

*19h30* CONCERT Philippe Thomas & Mo’Zar** *With Roger Thomas, Christophe Bertin* Three Mauritian composers, one shared passion: sega-jazz. Here, the rhythm of sega meets the freedom of jazz, blending Mauritian beats, colors, and musical traditions with the harmonies, improvisation, and richness of the jazz language. The repertoire, made up of original compositions, thrives on mutual listening, camaraderie, and a great freedom of improvisation, creating vibrant, spontaneous music deeply rooted in Mauritian identity. For their exceptional concert at Jass Club, the trio will be joined by young musicians from the Mo’Zar association, visiting from Mauritius. An encounter marked by intergenerational transmission, where sega-jazz becomes music to share, a learning tool, and a bridge of openness. Music that is Mauritian in its roots, jazz in its language, and universal in its expression. **Philippe Thomas** / trumpet **Roger Thomas** / bass **Christophe Bertin** / drums *21h30* CONCERT+JAM **AKINROOTS** Reshaping in their own image and passionately introducing the multifaceted universe of jazz-fusion is the challenge that AKINROOTS set for themselves. Modern and contemporary, this innovative group found its balance by exploring jazz, funk, West African rhythms, and electronic music. They offer a true sonic journey through their refreshing compositions where their diverse origins take pride of place. They will present their new EP 'PARSEC' before launching a jam session open to all! **Louis Le Page** / keyboards **Alexandre Bamba** / bass **Adrien Verger** / drums
