Ann O’Aro Trio

A singer, percussionist, poet but also a dancer, Ann O'Aro has made of the movement that links the rhythms of the body to those of the Creole language – in which she expresses herself – the major axis of her poetics. With a sensitive writing, she carves autobiographical texts, raw, violent and committed, which she interprets with a strong and passionate voice, reaching these hyper-contemporary zones where the intimate and the political combine. Leading her trio and bringing together trombonist Teddy Doris and percussionist Bino Hoarau around her voice and percussion, Ann O'Aro revisits the traditional rhythms of Réunionese maloya and Mauritian sega with the sounds and pulses of jazz, zouk or Balkans' music, thus propelling into our contemporaneity the strong speech of a standing woman.
