For nearly a decade, they’ve shaken up festivals and city corners with a mash-up of cultures, styles, and pure joy. More than just a band, LookSeeGo creates an immersive, contagious experience—one that blurs the line between performer and audience.

Yilian Cañizares is one of the most intriguing contemporary violinists, singers and composers. Always staying true to her origins, she skilfully blends jazz, classical and Afro- Cuban rhythms with her otherworldly voice. Whether on stage or in a recording studio, there are few talented artists like Yilian – who was born in Havana and settled in Switzerland – with such great respect for the past and sensitivity towards the future, accompanied by a smile to die for.

“Yilian is one of the most incredible talents of the new generation of Cuban musicians. She is a virtuoso, she is expressive, spontaneous and with a grace that makes her the favorite of all of us.” — Chucho Valdés

Bab et les Chats is a musical duo founded by Candice Guennec and Guillaume Baranger, singer-songwriters who’ve performed together since 2000. After meeting at university in Aix-en-Provence, they trained at the local conservatory of contemporary music and signed with the label Atmosphériques under their first project, Musard. Touring and recording brought them as far as Québec, whose lifestyle and creative energy deeply influenced them. In 2014, they created Bab et les Chats, an interactive rock project for children—and their parents. Their mission: to offer young audiences a real rock concert experience, complete with movement, humour, and full-on audience participation. The show invites kids to sing, play and get involved, while grown-ups enjoy the ride too. It’s playful, loud, and theatrical, with a big heart and even bigger energy—designed to bring generations together through music.

After their classical training, eleven musicians from village brass bands founded Sneaky Funk Squad in 2020 — a funky, flamboyant, and slightly crazy street band dressed in pink. Their mission: to explore new horizons, take on bold challenges, and above all, bring the party! The Sneaky Team reimagines funk classics (Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder) and pop/soul hits (Bruno Mars), while putting a fresh spin on modern tracks (Vulfpeck, Snarky Puppy) — and sometimes even playing their own originals. With trumpets, saxophones, trombones, sousaphone, and percussion, the band is all about breaking down barriers with the audience. Their funk, soul, and pop repertoire gets all generations dancing — ready to light up streets, festivals, and unexpected places alike!

Le Caribou Volant is the meeting of two voices, one pen, and a lively mix of bowed and plucked strings. On stage: violin, mandolin, guitar, flute, keyboard, and stomp box. This sparkling French–Québécois duo delivers ‘organic’ songs that expose the excesses of a world driven by greed at the expense of humans and all living things—always with wit and insight. Their language fizzes: a bubbling flow of words that collide, stack, and ricochet to better play, to better protest. With humour and tenderness, they launch a joyful revolt, carried by a vibrant palette of sounds that urges us to dance while we resist. When words resonate, rebellion is never bleak!
