Marie Maïko. Folk-rock cinématographique

On the occasion of the "Monte le son" festival, dedicated this year to music by women - Ô féminins - the Germaine Tillion library welcomes the duo "Marie Maïko". The concert takes place on 28 November at 3 p.m.

Mairie Maïko is an experimental, gentle and bold folk-rock duo made up of two musicians, Delphine Ciampi and Anne Gouverneur. Delphine Ciampi was born to a Japanese mother, the actress Keiko Kishi, and a Franco-Italian father, the film director Yves Ciampi.

A songwriter, guitarist and bassist, she has built a career spanning France, the United States and Japan, within various rock groups and musical projects. Anne Gouverneur is a Parisian musician, violinist, singer, guitarist and composer now based in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Trained at the classical conservatoire in violin and choral singing, she has for twenty years collaborated with many artists on the French and Mexican music scenes.

The two musicians met during Claire Diterzi's tour "Tableau de Chasse" in 2007, which comprised some hundred concerts, and so forged a deep complicity.

With Marie Maïko they have developed an open musical project that explores a shared inner world, which they shape according to their inspirations. Their voices intertwine. Delphine's electric guitar and Anne's violin blend to create a sonic material that is set free.

This unique depth, refined by their two voices in unison, has found the tone of Marie Maïko, even though their music remains largely instrumental. They are today described as cinematic folk-rock.
