Louis Winsberg - Talismane

A hope for harmony that goes beyond music.

Talismane is born from a word reinvented by Louis Winsberg: a talisman in the feminine form, carrying a dream of universality where generations, origins and cultures meet. Drawing on a range of current styles, from pop to jazz, with the hints of the Orient and the Mediterranean that he has made his own, his new compositions take shape within a line-up of young multi-instrumentalist musicians, for whom passing on knowledge becomes a natural gesture.

Around him, the ardent pulse of Sabrina Romero, on cajón, vocals and dance; the cello and voice of Louise Charbonnel; the shifting textures and colours of Maya Cros's keyboards; and the inspired lines of Amin Al Aiedy on oud, double bass and nay.

The continents engage in dialogue and the aesthetics blend: the electric embraces the ancient breath. Talismane pursues the quest for the ‘inouï’ that runs through Louis's entire life, from Sixun to Jaleo, and seeks today to elevate these journeys through a music that is free, fluid, deeply human and generous.

Performed off-site at the Amphithéâtre de La Manufacture (10 Rue des Allumettes), with the support of the City of Aix-en-Provence.
