About the show
As part of the International Music Day, Alliance Française de Singapour and Collectif KOA are delighted to welcome Jazz world and ethnic groove band PEEMAÏ, to perform its unique musical fusion at the crossroads of Asian music, jazz, rock, and electronic sounds.
Peemaï draws its roots from the traditional music of Southeast Asia — from Laos to Indonesia — as much as from the energy of urban cultures that inspire its four musicians. Their music, free and boundless, blends hypnotic rhythms, catchy melodies, and reinvented traditional songs with joyful boldness and a refined sense of improvisation. Each concert is a vibrant and generous experience, driven by a powerful groove and a jubilant sense of togetherness.
Formed in 2016 at the Scène Nationale de Sète, Peemaï quickly embarked on their first tour in Southeast Asia, with their debut concert taking place at the Vientiane Jazz Festival in Laos, where they got inspired by Molam, the rural blues of Laos. Driven by a thirst for discovery and musical encounters, the four members of Peemaï also traveled to Yogyakarta, on the island of Java, in 2019 to study traditional gamelan.
