Roger Biwandu

LINE UP: ROGER BIWANDU drums/lead BRUNO EDJENGUÉLÉ vocals PIERRE DE BETHMANN keyboards LINLEY MARTHE bass A gathering of heavyweights paying tribute to the immense singer of the 70s and 80s.

After a remarkable start to his career, with his very personal way of singing Al Jarreau, he really took off in 1980 with the album 'This Time', followed in 1981 by 'Breakin' Away'.

Covering jazz and pop tracks alike, he is the only singer to have won a Grammy Award in three different categories to date: Jazz, R&B and Pop. Roger Biwandu is one of the most acclaimed drummers on the French scene.

Over the course of his career, he has collaborated notably with Jacques Higelin and Biréli Lagrène, two major figures of French and European music. A musician of great versatility, he has excelled both on stage and as a musical director.

Alongside him, Linley Marthe, originally from Mauritius, has established himself as a bassist with a distinctive style, nourished by the rhythms and musical colours of his native island.

Hervé Saint-Guiron, a passionate multi-instrumentalist, brings his sensitivity and his love of jazz, soul and great keyboards. Finally, Bruno Edjenguélé completes this quartet with his warm voice and his stage experience, drawn from a world where jazz, soul and groove meet.

Together, they combine talent, complicity and solid experience in the service of a lively and generous music.
