In the third edition of his ‘INVITE’ series, Ali Omar El-Farouk invites French-Bulgarian singer/violinist Djaïma and bassist Ehab Badr to perform together an exciting selection of French and jazz tunes. Jazz music has been popular in France since the 1920s, and over the decades the influence of jazz music with its rich improvisational language has had a strong impact on French music, leading to the development of what is known today as French-Jazz. With a repertoire that is partly instrumental and partly with French singing, this trio explores this ever-interesting meeting of two well-loved musical traditions.
