COLLINE en quartet - Festival Jazz à Verviers

“Existential echoes on soft, light notes (text song)"

COLLINE invites you to visit yourself during a concert, with songs based on a dialogue between their inner world and our raw reality. To your left, you can see the joy of a liberating perspective (se casser en Roulotte), as well as the nostalgia of childhood enchantment (petite magie). As you stand up, your eyes may be filled with a desire to believe that the future is beautiful; and if tears come to your eyes, it will either be from emotion, or from the Onions sliced along the way. Don't forget to take along a "Dé à coudre" full of water, to keep you hydrated during this excursion, during which we'll come across a version of ourselves embellished by the years (Un Jour). We then pause for a moment to reflect on our conflicted and tormented relationship with... skirts (Ode à la Jupe), as we pay tribute to them.

The voice is soft, sometimes sung, sometimes declaimed. A viola is in place near the microphone, ready to take over from the vocal cords. COLLINE is not alone on stage: piano, double bass and percussion are mastered by talented musicians, adding jazz, folk and pop colors to the eclectic style of the songs. The audience will find itself an accomplice, sometimes joining in, enriching this musical universe with the beauty of the collective...
