ENGLISH

Shayke compels to stop and listen.

Reminiscent of a "shayken" artisanal cocktail, they achieve a delightful balance between their original arrangements and improvisation with a fluid and elegant sound that transports the listener to a colorful landscape of European and Latin American influences.

Longtime friends, collaborators, and composers César Correa and Arnaud Francelet founded Shayke in 2018 and they've been transporting their audiences to a state of bliss ever since as they masterfully blend elements from jazz styles, Latin and classical music.

Shayke concerts are a collaboration of talented musicians from across the globe who are all dedicated to creating a unique and moving musical experience.

FRANCAIS

le son des influences

Shayke c'est la pulsation qui incite à bouger. Colorées par les riches harmonies du jazz, guidées par des mélodies imprégnées de la pop ainsi que la musique classique, leurs compositions reflètent leurs influences, inspirées du jazz européen et de la musique latine.

 

Shayke est un projet fondé en 2018 par les compositeurs et amis César Correa et Arnaud Francelet.  Avec leurs musiciens complices, ils créent des arrangements fins et originaux avec beaucoup d'improvisation. Comme un cocktail bien ‘shayké’ ils mélangent tout ça à leur façon.

 

La musique fluide et élégante transporte l'auditeur dans un paysage plein de couleurs d'influences culturelles. Les compositions ainsi que les improvisations de Shayke diffèrent agréablement de celles précédemment entendues ce qui rend leur musique unique. On peut dire qu'après un concert de Shayke, le public quitte le concert avec un sentiment de joie.

​

DEUTSCH

Mit Shayke steht die Welt still und lauscht. Die fliessend - elegante Musik versetzt den Zuhörer in eine Landschaft voller Farben von europäischen und lateinamerikanischen Kultur Einflüssen. 

 

Shayke ist ein 2018 gegründetes Projekt der Komponisten und Freunde Arnaud Francelet und César Correa. Ihre Musik leiht sich Elemente aus Jazz, Latin und klassischen Musikstilen.

Gemeinsam mit ihren Bandkollegen aus aller Welt entstehen feine und originelle Arrangements mit viel Improvisation. Wie ein guter ‘shayked’ Cocktail mischen sie alles auf ihre eigene Weise.

 

Die Kompositionen so wie die Improvisationen von Shayke unterscheiden sich angenehm vom bisher gehörten dank der überaus kreativen und solistisch versierten Musikern deren Konzert einem Kaleidoskop gleich kommt. 

Man kann leichten Herzens behaupten, dass das Publikum nach einem Konzert von Shayke mit einem Gefühl von Freude das Konzert verlässt.
