"StreetGeneration"

...Mazal nous a tout d’abord invité dans son univers, un subtil mélange de chants séfarades anciens, de chants ladinos (la langue des rabbins espagnols perpétuée depuis 1492) et de musique électronique. Le duo composé de Emmanuelle Rouvray au chant et percussions et de Thomas Baudriller, membre du groupe Gong gong, qui sait user du laptop et de la contrebasse, ont su nous emmener dans une voyage enchanté et psychédélique au milieu d’une scénographie florale enchanteresse. On nous conte alors les amours déchues de jeunes filles d’hier et d’aujourd’hui, alliant tradition et modernité avec aisance, une direction assurée vers l’ailleurs !... - StreetGeneration

Bio

THE BIRTH OF MAZAL:

MAZAL started as an acoustic ensemble with the guitarist Noj PROSPER in 2003.
The meeting with Thomas BAUDRILLER in 2004 gave a new color to MAZAL.

The fusion of ancient songs with the electronic sounds created by Thomas gave MAZAL a
sought-after timeless dimension. This collaboration began as a private endeavor, and in 2009
became more concrete with the creation of a self-produced album - "Axerico en Selanik"
- and live performances, with the aim of offering the public music which was energetic and
danceable .

25 concerts since June, 2009

Emmanuelle Rouvray, singer, has a long-standing passion for traditional music. She
discovered Sephardic Jewish music during repeated trips to Spain. Her quest has led her to
travel to other places in the Diaspora: Morocco, Cuba...

Thomas Baudriller, composer and multi-instrumentalist, has been playing electronica for ten
years, notably with the group Gong Gong, which has performed many concerts in France and
abroad.
