Marina Celeste is a singer and a song writter, merly famous for her participation with the famous band Nouvelle Vague, wich met a huge succes in 2004. She did 3 solo albums which sold mainly in Europe and Japan. She prepares her new album now, Punky Lady'. " The sensual and sometimes eccentric delights of an escaped of Nouvelle Vague". Her head in the clouds, a pen or paintbrush in her hand, she has always written and composed her own songs, drawn and hummed her way through life. The death of her father in her early childhood imprinted upon her the precariousness and preciousness of life. The urgency to appreciate the everyday.

Praised for his mastery of the eight string guitar, Thomas Carbou is a seasoned musician. With his undeniable taste for improvisation and his desire to surprise, the guitar player, composer, musical arranger, percussionist and sampler unveils a musical landscape without borders where cultures and styles merge smoothly. While combining elements that are often featured in jazz, electro, traditional, world, song, and folk music, Carbou takes us all around the world with his bold and pleasantly complex artistic proposal. Over the years, Thomas Carbou has successfully collaborated to numerous international artistic projects (in France, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain, Vietnam, the United States, Canada, etc.). He was also awarded the Ville de Québec's Creation/Residence Award, as part of the 2007 Bourse RIDEAU, for his album IN MOTION. A little later, in 2010, he signed the original score for Denis Villeneuve's "Remembering the Ashes - Regards sur Incendies" documentary, directed by Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette (Le Ring et Les Petits géants), which has notably won a Gémeaux Award in the "Best cultural documentary" category. Whether he is playing solo or collectively, Thomas Carbou is a natural: he inspires and creates, as he breathes.

サンデータイムの2011年のベストジャズ音楽カテゴリーでも５位に入賞。)とピアニストのAlexandre Saada (Malia、Matha Reeves and the Vandellas)だ。彼らのショーはまさに正義を振りかざすようなものではほぼなく、純粋に味わうものであった。美しさと目的が完璧に融合している。 彼らのショーである「Madeleine & Salomon」はフェミニストアメリカンソングブックの情熱を抱擁し、それらを更に親愛という名の最小限の音楽と深くまばゆい詠唱の彩りで包んでいる。彼らのアルバム「A Woman's Journey」が明かすのはNina SimoneからJanis Joplinのような、Billie HolidayからJosephine Bakerのような、優美で予測不可能な人間主義者と反抗的なレパートリーの再解釈である。Madeleineが歌い、Salomonは座ってピアノを奏でる。Madeleine & Salomonは"最小限は最大限"という精神を大切にした、自然体な優雅さをまとうデュオだ。 「A Woman's Jouney」はフランスの国際ラジオ番組"France Musique"、"Jazz Magazine"、"Citizenjazz"で2016年度のベストアルバムに選ばれた。 "このプロジェクトは感情の全音域を網羅している。例えば、怒り、悲しみ、喜び、楽観さだ。聞きなれた楽曲に新しい切り口を投げかけ、忘れ去られた曲に脚光を浴びせ、世界を広くとらえた作曲家たちである。これはとても強力なアートで、とても素晴らしいライブになることがわかる。" ALL ABOUT JAXX - 4*(US) "忘れられない楽曲たち。このアルバムは驚くほど魅力的だ。" KZYX RADIO（US） "うっとりするようなアルバム。たくさんのムードと空間、叙情さがある。" －SUNDAYTIMES
Madeleine & Salomon is the meeting of two artists with well-established musical visions: the vocalist and flautist, Clotilde (previous album ranked #5 American NPR annual Jazz critics poll 2013 - Debut album category, #5 'Best Jazz' music category 2011 by the SundayTime,) and pianist Alexandre Saada (Malia, Matha Reeves & the Vandellas...). It's one of those shows that to describe it, merely doesn't do it justice, it has to be seen to be fully appreciated. It perfectly combines beauty and purpose. Together, their show 'Madeleine & Salomon' embraces with ardour the feminist American songbook, covering it with loving-kindness tinged with minimalistic music and with a deep and incandescent chant. Their album 'A Woman's Journey' reveals a graceful and unexpected reinterpretation of a humanist and rebellious repertoire, from Nina Simone to Janis Joplin, Billie Holiday to Josephine Baker. Madeleine sings, Salomon sits at the piano. Madeleine & Salomon is a duo with a natural elegance, with "less is more" at its essence. 'A Woman's Journey' was named 'Best Album 2016' by the French National Radio France Musique and by Jazz Magazine and Citizenjazz. "This project runs through a gamut of emotions like anger, sadness, joy, and optimism, throwing new angles onto familiar songs and exposing forgotten songs and songwriters to the world at large. This is a strong work of art that seems like it would be amazing live." ALL ABOUT JAZZ - 4* (US) "Unforgettable music, this album is stunning" KZYX RADIO (US) "A fascinating album. So many moods, so much space and lyricism" THE SUNDAYTIMES
