An underground french jazz act.
"Absolutely irresistible" (Folker Magazine) -- MARION & SOBO BAND (DE/FR/PL) shuttle back and forth with fascinating lightness between vocal gypsy jazz and swing, chansons and sonorities from Western to Eastern Europe. The French singer Marion Lenfant-Preus (who was raised in a bilingual family from France & the USA) and the Polish guitarist Alexander Sobocinski („Sobo“) present their own compositions, chanson-like songs and arrangements of folklore melodies from the Balkans that they weave into a very special, beguiling world of sound. Their new album "Histoires" is coming out on 25.06.2021 and will be released on GLM Music. These musicians travel, explore and play/sing with charm, humor, finesse, artistry and enthusiasm to a cross-generational and cross-cultural audience. Marion's love for languages transpires through her music as she sings in more than 6 languges from french to romales. She also uses her multifaceted voice as an instrument for improvisation showing the same dexterity as the instrumentalists playing alongside her. The violin, guitars and double bass combine expressive and sensitive melodies with improvisation. They deliver an energetic and rhythmic sound without using any percussion instrument or drums. Instead, we follow the drive of the percussive guitars and their unique sound reminding us of the Selmer-Macaferri of the 1930s, and sounding both timeless and contemporary. The band occasionally plays with reknown gypsy jazz guitarist Joscho Stephan.
