Hadouk Trio is in town for an exceptional concert which will take us a step further towards and into an ethereal world. Not to be missed!

Following the footsteps of Hermann Melville and Saint-Exupéry, Hadouk gives us escapism. Welcome aboard Air Hadouk! Fly ‘Aerozen’ on a hedonistic interplanetary flight to emerging destinations.

The line of sight: the horizon where external influences and intimacy meet, and from which point the continents redraw themselves exploring the beginning of new instrumental metamorphoses.

Thus the khen, the Laotian mouth organ, is wrapped in electrical energy, the hang, a mix between a steel drum and a gamelan, enters into the world of chromaticism; the doudouk steps into of the shoes of jazz, the hajouj, a bass originally from the desert made from camels skin becomes a piccolo, heightening the tone; the appearance of the bahu flute, with its free Chinese reed, creates a wave of movement.

Swings and loops, high voltage rhythms and gliding harmonies, our 3 co-pilots opt for free style. But they also know how to help you land gently with no turbulence.

HADOUK is the HAjouj played by Loy and the DouDOUK played by Didier
