Vocal, flute, drums, &
machines—that's ROSAWAY: A Pop-Jazz band hailing from
Paris. Distinctly French, somewhat theme-tune-style, and a whole lot
of groovy, this four-piece group is a blend of past and present. Founding
members Rachel Ombredane and Stéphane (AKA: SteF) Avellaneda have some weight
behind them. Rachel studied classical flute and music at the Sorbonne and sang
vocals for artists, including Ed Sheeran. SteF is an internationally renowned
blues drummer who's played with and for the likes of BB King, Ben Poole, and
Ana Popovic.
After California, Memphis and
New Orleans, it is in Paris that Rachel and SteF set down their bags and
founded ROSAWAY in 2017. Inspired by
their past experiences on the road with American artists from the Pop and Blues
scene (Ana Popovic, Buddy Guy, Jonny Lang…), the two musicians imagine a
groovy, mixed and “feel good” Soul carried by the airy voice by Rachel whose
technique allows her to vary the colors going from soul to gospel to rock.
“The
care given to image and sound shows artistic maturity, a taste for innovation
associated with an innate sense of melody and arrangements.”
– Rolling Stone Magazine, France
A true travel diary, their
latest EP “Dreamer” transports us to the roads of California, to the smoky jazz
clubs of Chicago and to Frenchmen Street (New Orleans). ROSAWAY highlights
their French identity, in their latest single “Midnight”, a tangy and very
sixties pop with a chorus sung in French.
The music festival will
continue with a concert performances by Diali Cissokho & Kaira Ba on February 3. All
performances will begin at 8:00 pm in The Sitnik Theatre of the Lackland
