joulik
This is from the meeting between Robin Celsus, guitarist and oud player, Melissa Zantman, accordionist - singer and Claire Menguy, cellist - singer, that Joulik draws his creativity and life of momentum. At the whim of various musical experiences, they build together a program based on world music, combining both tradition and composition...
All skilful, these three young musicians are composers, singers and multi-instrumentalists and find in their play a common language around sounds that touch them, wherever they come from. The traditional music is for them a means of expression and sharing, an open door to the dream and creation.

Today, they offer to their listeners a beautiful musical journey that takes us in Europe, to the plains of Romania, the Balkan green mountains, to the Mediterranean area, Africa or South America.
After a first EP in 2011 « a doux pas » and album in 2014 « Aux temps », Joulik’s new album « Un air, deux ailes » is the occasion to explore again their musical world that keeps pushing back its frontiers. You will be cruising from the Baltic to the Adriatic sea guided by traditional Bulgarian rythmes and tamil singings. A journey where the listener is sometimes held with magic in an attentive and emotional listen, and other times thrilled by an uncontainable crave for dancing.
