Kafé Dijo
A piano, drums, guitar and double bass influenced by jazz, rock, funk, groove and world music. KaféDijo’s music is a fusion of styles. As songwriters and composers, their songs often veer into the realms of poetry, tackling universal subjects like love and life. They stir the emotions, caress the soul, dance with the imagination, and blend in metaphors and wordplay to resonate as many positive echoes.
Line-up: Patrick Breese, Jérôme Saccoman, Pierre Mermet Guyennet & Clément Dépierre
Derniers de cordée
Les Derniers de cordée are four bewildered mountain men straight out of a postcard from the 1900s. They don’t quite know what they’re doing there, let alone where they’re going, offbeat, burlesque, with no limits…
The urban furniture is transformed into cliffs and other abysses like so many pretexts for play. The four of them stop at nothing, weaving ephemeral relationships with the audience as they wander. They draw us into their zany, poetic world with a succession of funny, absurd and unexpected situations…
Company l’Effet Railleur – Actors (alternating) : Paul Koechlin, Claude Courtieu, Stéphane Ménart dit ‘Raoul’, Camille Duval dit ‘Dudu’.

Les Crêtes Brûlées
Songs to sing along to in super-fast folk punk mode
acoustic guitars.It’s raw, joyful, euphoric music.It’s a party, it’s raw beetroot, but above all it’s burning Babylon with joy.
A show caramelised with spicy spices, somewhere between punk song and street theatre.
Resto Basket
Not far from Grenoble, Resto Basket discovered its style on the road. Punk rock became a matter of course, an ethic never to give in to superfluity, a way of doing things, a message, to point out the contradictions of an era gone astray.Aggression, guitars, speed and a lot of piss.From one concert to the next, the project grows and federates, and nostalgic fans and neophytes alike find something to enjoy. This punk rock doesn’t feel stale, on the contrary, it works towards inclusion and the political and social urgency we’re all facing.

Today, Ziriguidoum is a group of twenty or so percussionists bursting with energy who want nothing more than to offer you a moment of happiness, put a smile on your face and a smile in your heart, and get you moving to the point of dancing in their new wandering creation!
La Green Team
