Musical style: Jazz/ blues
Creative force of a collective scene from which many talents have emerged (Let's Get Together), Lisa Spada is an essential figure for anyone interested in soul in France.
Accompanied by her quintet, Lisa Spada today opens a window on the world of jazz with a repertoire that has been dear to her since her childhood, that of the one who will become after her collaboration with the Columbia label, the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin.
"Lisa Spada highlights all the stylistic diversity of these recordings, often poorly regarded by amateurs who struggle to go beyond the masterpieces of the Atlantic period, between jazz standards, pop compositions and blues pearls on which Lisa Spada gives her full interpretative power and an inhabited interpretation (...) A beautiful tribute to the richness and diversity of the career of the Queen of Soul" extract from Soul Bag by Frédéric Adrian.

Musical style: Jazz Manouche
The guitar has always been part of the heritage of the island of beauty, the mazurka and the waltz being the hallmarks of Corsican guitarists. It is not surprising that this young guitarist from Bastia - Fanou Torracinta is only twenty-eight years old - has taken over this story.
The original and very creative compositions of this young Corsican guitarist come to blend some jazz standards that we like to hear and hear again…
"I've known Fanou for a little while now. He looks adorable like that but don't trust it. First he is young, very young and then he plays guitar really well (...) I am proud that Corsica has produced such a good, talented musician-guitarist." Thomas Dutronc
"The music played by the young Fanou Torracinta gives off severely, because the young man does not save himself and sends his notes with a rare velocity. Attention, virtuoso". GUITARE SÈCHE le mag

(A tribute to Blues Women)
Entrance fee: 15€

Musical style: Blues
Throughout history, countless women have left their mark on the blues, fighting their way to the forefront of a largely male-dominated scene, often with little recognition.
These women paved the way for so many musicians, and the blues would not be what it is today without their influences. "Talking about the facts of life" is the central theme of this music. Whether it's relationship problems, financial issues or discrimination, from Bessie Smith through Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Nina Simone, Etta James, Koko Taylor and Janis Joplin, to more recent Blues Women like Bonnie Raitt and Susan Tedeschi, these women tell the real story and give advice. The Tuff Lovers pay tribute to these great ladies who have played such an important part in the history of the Blues. Female blues at its best!

"One of today's greatest French jazz guitarists" TSF jazz radio

Musical style: Space Fusion Jazz
Tronikaa, the musical project of pianist Vincent Guibert, takes to the stage to celebrate the release of its first opus: "Inner Hyperspace".
A fledgling project, Tronikaa has its origins in the 70s and 80s culture of science fiction, machines and star stories. Images and music are one. From the Phantom Of The Paradise soundtrack to Herbie Hancock, from Metal Hurlant comics to Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here.
But how do you get the machines to cohabit with the instruments, the groove with the lyricism, the organic rough edges with the electronic control?
The tools: a few synthesizers, a bass, more keyboards, a guitar, two or three more machines, thick drums and sharp brass, and a handful of talented friends. Close your eyes, watch the film.
