Illyes Ferfera Presents Kan Ya Ma Kan Réunion

Illyes Ferfera presents Kan Ya Ma Kan (Arabic for "Once upon a time").

Accompanied by musicians of his generation with whom he shares the same love of "singing" (whether rhythmic or melodic), polyrhythms, complex rhythmic structures, and also of improvisation when it preserves its share of urgency and risk, Illyes has decided́ to place the values of encounters between worlds, exchange and sharing at its core, with a repertoire based on compositions by each member of the group, which will draw its roots as much from the rhythms of the Maghreb, as from the modes of Olivier Messiaen, or even from the American and Latin American jazz tradition.

Created in 2012, the #JazzDeDemain slot has given rise to a series of monthly and bimonthly residencies, enabling young artists to experiment on stage, honing a repertoire while presenting it to the public. A promising niche where creativity and emulsion know no bounds. #BeCurious!
