Tricia Evy: The new diva of the jazz… beguine, tomorrow in concert

If you like the jazz, you will be able only to appreciate the voice of exception of Tricia Evy. Its models which are Ela Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Stan Getz and Mel Tormé would be proud among that which is not other than their right heiress. But which is thus this new star of the jazz?

Caribéennes of Mai Festival to the Salted Kiss, invites you to discover the 120 singers in 40 concerts, including large the singer of jazz Tricia Evy and suddenly like a taste of summer, come here time to sway in spring…

More tested with the starts–up in vogue, more than one month under the sign of KREYOL DJAZ!!
Beguine, Mento, Calypso, Cha Cha, Mambo, Danzon, Merengue, Go Kwa, Kompas, Descarga,… All the wealth of the Creole musics and Caribéennes are expressed at the laboratory of the crossed musics. ! A tradition more alive than ever.

Tricia Evy, remade 2 sessions evening Retro Zouk with the Kiss Salted on May 11th, at the time as of Caribéennes de Mai, this time it will be accompanied by David Fackeure (Piano), Elvin Bironien (Low), Ralph Lavital (Guitar), Thibault Hien (Saxophone), Laurent–Emmanuel Tilo Bertholo (Battery).

Inhabitant of Guadeloupe of origins, Tricia always had the music in blood. Very young person, she listens to Patrick Saint Eloi of the group Kassav and Georges Brassens.

It is while arriving to France that it will be impassioned for the jazz and to make its art of expression of it. It could have continued as her fathers in this way in which it excels while interpreting standard and personal compositions (albums “Beginning” in 2010 and “Meet Me” in 2013), but Tricia makes a discovery which will give another direction to its music.

The pianist of reputation David Fackeure (also composer and arranger) as well as a collector make him listen to chief–works of the beguine. It is a revelation. It should rehabilitate these pieces, heritage of the West–Indian culture. To marry with subtlety these two universes become then an obviousness and its creed. Result?

An original repertoire which made it travel throughout the world, allowing him to occur on many scenes and to take part in prestigious festivals (Manly Jazz Festival in Sydney, Devonport Jazz Festival (Tasmanie), the Duke of Lombardic, Jazz in Marciac, Enghien Jazz Festival, Montreux Jazz Festival, Festival Jazz de Doha, Carib Festival In Jazz in Olympia, Martinique Jazz Festival, the National scene of Bayonne, Jazz in Touraine, Montreux Jazz Festival, Jazz in Vienna, Porvo Jazz Festival (Finland), Jamboree Jazz Club in Barcelona…).

Tricia thus reached the triad. It confirms it with its third opus homage whose title was not chosen by chance: “Usawa”, balance into Swahili; a harmony become the leitmotiv of the inspiration of this new ambassadress of the jazz and beguine; two musical cultures having for common denominator the History of the black people.
