From the Mediterranean to Persia,
in eight languages

A journey through the cultures of the Mediterranean, Persia, Ireland…: eight sung languages draw a small Babel in which the lyrics evoke emotional landscapes in the manner of haikus. The voice of Solea Garcia-Fons, Stéphan Caracci on vibraphone and Jean-Luc Di Fraya on drums and percussion.

Performed at the Tourcoing Jazz Festival, the Saint-Rémy-de-Provence Jazz Festival, Le Rocher de Palmer (Bordeaux) and the Bergson Kunstkraftwerk in Munich, among others.

“The ensemble radiates balance, inviting an introspective journey through the world's ancestral cultures.” —Action Jazz

Flamenco as roots,
jazz as horizon

His new album (2026), premiered at Veranos de la Villa (Madrid): original music that takes up the legacy of Spanish piano —Falla, Albéniz— and brings it into the present, between flamenco, jazz and electronics.

A true crossroads by one of the most brilliant Spanish musicians today. From solo piano to sextet.

“Freedom when looking at the roots, with cante as an anchor in tradition.” —Fermín Lobatón, El País (Babelia)
