June 21, 2024, Music Day at the Shoah Memorial

18h – Concert by Dan Gharibian Trio for the Music Festival

After having been the voice for four decades of Bratsch, spearhead of gypsy and Eastern music in the 1980s and 1990s, Dan Gharabian built with his trio a more personal project. His compositions tell moments of life, travels, encounters in the four corners of the planet on airs from the Caucasus, the Balkans and the Mediterranean rim.

With Dan Gharabian, vocals and guitar, Benoît Convert, guitar and voice, and Antoine Girard, accordion and voice.

8 p.m. – Josef, Josef

«The magicians of Josef Josef travel across the old continent, seek his beating heart in the East and it is a whole world that twirls under their fingers, in their voices. And these songs take us between loss and the desire to conquer, in their interpretation both faithful to their soul and bold in the arrangements: here jazz makes an incursion into the gypsy, here music takes back its rights and grace in the purest language, that consoles, regenerates and gives a crazy desire to surrender to the joy of life, to friendship, to love, to close your eyes and dance." Valérie Zenatti

With Éric Slabiak, violin and voice, François Anastasio, guitar and voice, Dario Ivkovic, accordion, Jérôme Arrighi, bass, and Nicolas Grupp, drums.

And their guests Norig Recher, Sébastien Giniaux and Dan Gharibian.

With the support of the Shoah Memory Foundation
