VIVIANE GINAPÉ invite BENOIT DE MESMAY

Viviane Ginapé has been singing for as long as she can remember. A lover of pianist Richie Beirach, her favourite composer, the singers Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Diane Reeves have left an undeniable mark on her, while Tania Maria and Milton Nascimento add their Latin touch to her musical palette. A renowned singer and teacher of vocal expression, the dynamism of lyrics plays a central role in her work, as does the range of possibilities offered by scat or vocal improvisation. With Mario Canonge, the DUO is in residence for another year, performing modern jazz standards, blues and the warmth of Brazilian music! Percussive, instrumental or lyrical, his voice is fully committed to the moment, and never ceases to surprise.
