LOUISE ET VILMORIN

Louise Et Vilmorin, Sophie Tassignon (voice) and Kevin Patton (guitar), are not only musicians; they are storytellers, adventurers, collectors of the rich tapestry of human expression. These 21st-century troubadours have curated a musical experience that spans continents, blending an eclectic mix of modern jazz, rock ‘n’ roll, Russian folk, Irish traditional, flamenco, Carnatic, and gypsy styles. With lyrics in Arabic, French, Russian, and English, they invite us on a journey—a journey across continents, through stories told and untold, offering listeners a rich, musical program that celebrates our human entanglement.

“The duet has retained the name LOUISE ET VILMORIN to offer us an intimate and captivating repertoire.” ILLICO! 68, June 2023, Claude Colpaert
