MAYRA ANDRADE - NAAZ - ESINAM

POUR ELLE, LE RENOUVEAU PASSE PAR LES RYTHMES AFRICAINS CONTEMPORAINS, RÉSERVOIR INÉPUISABLE DE RÉJOUISSANCES.

Mayra Andrade

Mayra Andrade’s music is an international affair. The Cape Verdean singer was born in Cuba, raised in Cape Verde, and later lived in Senegal, Angola, Germany and France. Her songs use all those influences, as well as hints to Brazilian sounds and reggae, and mixes them with jazz and Western pop, to create an exotic trip around the world. Fifth album ‘Manga’ showcases all of this, with the singer’s incredible voice the perfect, intimate guide through her world. To add to this global feeling, Mayra sings in multiple languages as well, which seems fitting for this evening at Les Nuits. The next big thing of southern pop is ready to shine at the Chapiteau!

NAAZ

Naaz is a 21-year-old singer-songwriter and producer from Holland, who immediately captures your attention with her distinctive voice. Having a Kurdish background, it took Naaz quite some time and effort to convince her family to allow her to follow her passion. During that time, Naaz taught herself to write, produce and record her own music in her bedroom, so she could still be able to make music regardless of any circumstances. Together with producers of Soulsearchin' she finishes her bedroom born music so that her quirky, playful yet subtle productions go hand in hand with her melodic songwriting. Now with her family lovingly by her side, she wholeheartedly encourages other artists to do the same and never give up on their vision. Her debut EP 'Bits Of Naaz' was released in April 2018. Her follow up project 'the beautiful struggle' was released a year later, with a whole new sound as promised. Touring Europe & UK on her own tour after supporting Hayley Kiyoko, she is soon off to be Melanie Martinez's special guest on her Europe tour as well.

Esinam

Multi-instrumentiste, Esinam développe un univers très personnel, un univers kaléidoscopique à la croisée des esthétiques. Elle captive son public par sa musique aux rythmiques transes, hypnotiques et ses mélodies mélancoliques. Ses morceaux invitent à la danse et à la contemplation. Après avoir présenté une création originale pour l’édition 2019 des Nuits du Botanique accompagnée de musiciens, Esinam nous revient aujourd’hui aux Nuits 2020, en solo. Rendez-vous à la Scène Parc pour un concert entre électro-jazz et flûte rêveuse. Le tout, parfumé de sonorités africaines.

La cartographie européenne de la pandémie de Coronavirus et les disposition spécifiques à chacun des Etats en matière de voyages ont finalement empêché la venue de Marina Satti et sa formation en provenance de Athènes. Nous avons, avec l'artiste fait tout ce qui était en notre pouvoir pour débloquer les choses mais les contraintes en matières de tests, notamment, sont malheureusement incompatibles avec le voyage des artistes dans des conditions et timings raisonnables. Notre artiste en résidence Esiman remplacera Marina Satti pour lancer ce concert d'ouvertures des Nuits Botanique de octobre. Le concert sera reporté aux Nuits Botanique de mai 2021. Nous espérons rapidement confirmer la nouvelle date.
