Thomas Badeau (clarinet) and Nahuel Baeza (violin) have formed a brand-new duo for Fest-Noz (traditional Breton dance parties), although their respective backgrounds demonstrate a solid musical experience, nurtured by both traditional music and more improvisational styles. Thomas Badeau is now a regular on Breton dance floors, having formed his first groups in the late 1990s. Originally from the Nantes region and introduced to traditional music at the age of seven, the clarinetist is deeply rooted in dance music and demonstrates a refined knowledge of tradition while also incorporating a more personal touch into his compositions. Nahuel Baeza, a French-Chilean violinist born in Angers, comes from a more diverse musical background. Having started at a young age with South American music and the folk dances of Angers, he later trained at the Didier Lockwood Music Center in a jazz program, with a detour into Gypsy music. He now brings his melodic background and improvisational freedom to the duo. Together, they explore a repertoire of dance music, driven by listening, sharing, and the desire to bring Breton music to life in the moment, with energy and simplicity.
