Thursday, October 16: Benoît Doremus
Benoît Dorémus is a talent from the new scene to follow very closely. His strength lies in his lyrics; his pen is active, intense, powerful. An enraged author who makes his pen cry with subtlety. Anger tinged with tenderness… Between prose and rage… French chanson, rock, and rap phrasing, Benoît Dorémus positions himself as the hero of his texts. One thing is certain, Dorémus does not leave anyone indifferent! [www.benoitdoremus.com](https://www.benoitdoremus.com/)
Opening Act – Chinaski: The famous band from Nice flirts with rock, embraces electro, and concludes with songs. But, there’s no way to stick them in one category! CHINASKI… it’s just Chinaski, that’s all! “Noces de Zinc,” their latest album, is a bittersweet poetry of wordplay on love and lurid melodramas… [www.chinaski-web.com](http://www.chinaski-web.com) and [www.myspace.com/chinaskiweb](https://www.myspace.com/chinaskiweb)

Friday, October 17: IDIR + SOHA
Of Kabyle origin, a major artist on the world scene for 30 years, all of Idir’s art lies in the transmission of emotion, that fragile moment when the audience begins to resonate in unison. A great understanding of the nature of sounds, for a harmonious blend, through traditional instruments: flutes, derbouka, bendir, tbel, mandol, which he is careful not to distort. Through his words, he shares colors of sound. [www.idir-officiel.fr](http://www.idir-officiel.f)
Naturally, fresh and spontaneous, Soha is the reflection of both artistic and ethnic diversity. She is from here and elsewhere! A clear voice with multiple facets, like her music… a subtle mix of warm tones that sometimes evoke reggae or jazz, Cape Verde or Cuba… [www.soha.fr](https://www.soha.fr)

Saturday, October 18: Pauline Croze
Pauline Croze’s uniqueness is escaping sonic formulas as well as the armor of genres. Her voice frees itself from the rhythmic loop and takes flight. She plays with it, makes it swirl, turns it into a flame, wreath, caress, wave, or flake. Although they don’t really tell stories, Pauline’s songs convey the intensity of inner upheavals of someone who openly admits to being extreme. [www.paulinecroze.com](https://www.paulinecroze.com)
Opening Act – GRI&CO: Gri&Co cheerfully mixes the instrumental secularism of acoustics with electric sounds. Based on the fusion of genres, Gri&Co’s music has no boundaries. A repertoire of songs with lyrics where humor flirts with love and poetry! The journey is its song of celebration, musical blending its song of peace!
